Inexpensive, environmentally friendly and quickly available: Remanufactured professional hardware from Refurbishers is becoming increasingly popular, and not just among private customers.
The trade in used hardware is booming. Businesses are also increasingly interested in refurbished laptops and servers. The ongoing lack of chips further increases interest in used hardware. Conversely, companies can still generate revenue for decommissioned devices. Last but not least, the continued use of older hardware protects the environment. Refurbishers act as the central link in this chain. These companies purchase discarded equipment, clean it, make necessary repairs, and resell the result.

With the demand for refurbished devices, the sales figures of refurbishers are increasing. According to the Financial Times, Finland’s Swappie is one of the fastest growing companies in the world in recent years. Even hardware manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon: Apple and Dell offer refurbished versions of their products in their online shops. Well-known retailers such as Conrad, Amazon and many others have set up their own refurbished areas on their platforms.

Finding the right refurbisher in this jungle of providers is particularly difficult for companies. Unlike end customers, they place special demands on the hardware, the warranty and services, and the delivery of spare parts. However, the websites of most refurbishers are stingy with the right information, and many providers are also silent about the previous life of the devices.
