Reconext is a global aftermarket lifecycle services company that takes returned, broken, or retired electronics - phones, laptops, set-top boxes, AI servers, point-of-sale gear - and gives them a second life. Through repair, refurbishment, testing, trade-in, asset recovery, and IT asset disposition, the company keeps devices and components circulating instead of heading to landfill. Headquartered in Grapevine, Texas and operating roughly 22 facilities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific, Reconext serves manufacturers, carriers, retailers, insurers, and data centers.
