Inrego

What Inrego does

Inrego is a Sweden-based circular IT solutions provider founded in 1995 by Henrik Nilsson, headquartered in Täby with production operations in Sweden and Finland. The company buys used IT equipment from enterprises and public-sector organizations, refurbishes it through a certified process — including Blancco-grade serial-number-level data erasure and a three-tier quality grading system (Nyskick, Mycket bra skick, Bra skick) — and resells, leases, or recycles the devices. Core service lines are Buy IT (refurbished hardware sales), Sell IT (corporate trade-in with certified data wiping), Lease IT (equipment rental including short-term events like the Olympics), Refresh IT (lifespan extension), and Analyze IT (climate impact reporting using a proprietary CO2 model co-developed with IVL Svenska Miljøinstitutet).

Revenue is generated primarily through refurbished hardware sales — both one-time enterprise transactions and self-serve webshop unit sales at shop.inrego.se — supplemented by trade-in transaction fees, recurring equipment leasing, and lifecycle/professional services around CO2 and climate reporting. The company pursues a multi-motion go-to-market: direct enterprise field sales for large accounts (Saab, Siemens Energy, Vattenfall, Telia, Skanska, Kalmar Kommun), a self-serve e-commerce platform for SMB and consumer buyers, event-driven demand generation through Circular Tech Talk and Circular Electronics Awards, and channel partnerships with IT resellers and financial services firms (notably DLL). Operating scale is approximately 400,000 IT products refurbished per year across more than 45 countries with deliveries to 90+ countries.

The business is privately held by Inrego Holding AB with no disclosed institutional funding. Compliance stack (ISO 27001, ISO 9001/14001/45001, Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher, Blancco Gold ITAD Partner, JAC Excellent 2024) is central to enterprise and defense customer acquisition. Reported growth is 30%+ in both 2023 and August 2025, with a March 2026 trade-in platform launch and European partnership expansion signaling continued commercial scaling.
