Tampa, Florida-based electronics recycling company Paladin EnviroTech has acquired ICT of Ireland, an R2v3-certified information technology asset disposition (ITAD) provider, for an undisclosed sum, bringing the firm's total acquisition investment to $70 million (approximately €58.8 million) across nine months.

As reported by Recycling Today, ICT was founded in 2003 and processed more than 2,000 tonnes of end-of-life electronics and securely shredded more than 500,000 data-bearing devices in the past year alone. The company serves a client base spanning enterprise and hyperscale data centres, public sector organisations, and commercial customers, delivering mobile on-site data destruction via a purpose-built shredding vehicle alongside IT asset remarketing, certified destruction, data centre decommissioning, secure logistics, and ESG-aligned reporting.

Brian Diesselhorst, CEO of Paladin, said the acquisition strengthens our ability to support customers in Dublin, widely considered the EU's data center capital, and across Ireland, with consistent execution and certified outcomes, while expanding our on-site shredding and secure handling capabilities in-region.

ICT CEO Eva Warren said: "At a time when data risk and material loss are only increasing, a security-first mindset is foundational. Paladin shares that same operational discipline and commitment to full chain of custody. Together, we're building a model where organizations don't have to choose between security, compliance and sustainability, we can deliver all three, at scale, across Ireland, the U.K. and Europe."

Paladin was formed in mid-2025 by New York and California-based private investment firm SER Capital Partners and South Korea's Daeheung Recycling. It entered the European market earlier this year through the acquisition of R&L Recycling B.V., a Netherlands-based recycler with more than 25 years of experience in sustainable materials recovery.
