US-based Paladin EnviroTech has acquired ICT, Ireland’s first R2-certified IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) provider. The deal brings Paladin’s total investment to €60 million across multiple acquisitions in the past nine months, reflecting its ambition to meet international ITAD and critical materials recycling demand.
Founded in 2003, ICT processes more than 2,000 tons of end-of-life electronics and securely shredding over 500,000 data-bearing devices in the past year alone. As the first company in Ireland to achieve R2v3 certification, ICT reinforces the highest standards in data security, environmental protection, and downstream accountability. Its clients range from enterprise and hyperscale data centres to public sector and commercial customers.
“ICT has always been focused on trust, control, and doing ITAD the right way,” said Eva Warren, CEO of ICT. “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 UK and Europe.”
ICT delivers mobile, on-site data destruction via a purpose-built shredding vehicle equipped with industrial-grade systems, alongside a full suite of services including IT asset remarketing, certified destruction, electronics recycling, data center decommissioning, secure logistics, and ESG-aligned reporting. The model prioritizes in-house processing and minimizes reliance on third parties, reducing risk and improving accountability.
“ICT is a strong legacy organisation in the ITAD space, built on doing the work in-house, maintaining chain-of-custody control, and meeting the highest standards for secure data destruction,” said Brian Diesselhorst, CEO of Paladin. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to support customers in Dublin – widely considered the EU’s ‘data centre capital’ – and across Ireland, with consistent execution and certified outcomes, while expanding our on-site shredding and secure handling capabilities in-region.”
ICT is expected to transition to the Paladin brand and relocate its operations to Paladin’s newly-leased 52,000 square foot processing facility in Dublin. Specific financial terms were not disclosed.
