TES-AMM JAPAN

What TES-AMM JAPAN does

TES-AMM JAPAN株式会社 is the Japanese operating subsidiary of the global TES-AMM Group (rebranded SK Tes following SK ecoplant's 2022 acquisition of the parent group). Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, the company provides enterprise IT asset disposition (ITAD) and full lifecycle management services, spanning Managed Deployment, Asset Recovery, Environmentally Compliant Recycling, and Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling. Service breadth also includes procurement planning, installation, removal/logistics, NIST-compliant data erasure, media shredding, reuse/recycle/asset management, office relocation support, onsite engineer dispatch, education-sector ICT support, and device rental. The proprietary TES Carbon Loop Calculator (launched 2024) provides carbon footprint measurement for client reporting and is supported by a stack of certifications including ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, R2 (Responsible Recycling), CDP disclosure recognition, and Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR) status. Customers span large enterprise corporations, data center operators, foreign financial institutions, government agencies, and educational institutions, with named channel partners including Sojitz Corporation (capital and business alliance, 2021), Nittokogyo Corporation (reseller), AT TOKYO Corporation (data center secure decommissioning), and Yamato Home Convenience (last-mile logistics).

The company makes money through a portfolio of revenue streams: hardware resale and remarketing of refurbished servers, PCs and networking gear; professional services fees for on-site data destruction, secure logistics, and chain-of-custody documentation; buyback programs where TES-AMM purchases end-of-life equipment from enterprise clients; recurring managed services contracts providing ongoing ITAD oversight; and parts-and-components sales from harvested hardware. Pricing is quote-based, scoped to asset volume, geography, certification requirements, data destruction method, and logistics complexity, under a pay-as-you-go billing cadence with no publicly disclosed standard rate card. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for large accounts, inside sales for mid-market and inbound inquiries, and event-driven demand generation via industry conferences and webinars.

Japan operations sit within a global group footprint of 40+ locations across 20+ countries, enabling TES-AMM JAPAN to serve multinational clients through its Overseas Solution Services. Ownership ties include the Sojitz Corporation capital alliance (January 2021, undisclosed stake), SK ecoplant/SK Tes parent (since 2022), and operational integration of the 2017 Dataserv acquisition. Leadership is currently Kunihiko Ozawa, appointed President and Representative Director in April 2019, with a 2024 global CEO change and management team revamp at the SK Tes parent driving renewed strategic execution.
