“A big focus for us will be helping local businesses in the area,” Adam Shine, VP of Sunnking, said. “We want to make it easy for them to responsibly handle and dispose of all of their electronics.”
The new “demanufacturing” facility will provide a resource for local businesses to reliably handle their end-of-life technology — including secure data destruction. End-of-life technology refers to products for which vendors no longer offer support services. The new facility will also allow Sunnking to “extend product lifecycles by identifying opportunities for refurbishing and resale,” per the company’s release.
The warehouse had previously opened in March 2020 but was then “immediately” shut down due to COVID-19 safety procedures, Sunnking said. Operations have slowly ramped back up in recent months due to the “growing need” for electronics recycling.
“We’re excited to travel into the underserviced Central and Eastern [New York] markets and believe this gives us the ability to expand throughout the state even more,” said Shine. “This evolution allows the ability to efficiently duplicate many of our current processes, create meaningful jobs and serve more customers under the New York State e-waste law.”
The plant buildout will also create space for Sunnking to add a second location of its retail brand, eCaboose, in 2022. It sells refurbished electronics and offers computer support to the community.
