SHANNON, IE – 27/12/2025 – () – Ireland’s growing position within Europe’s digital and sustainability sectors receives additional momentum through the launch of a new SK tes site in Shannon, County Clare. The worldwide supplier of secure technology lifecycle management and IT asset disposition (ITAD) solutions has announced the official inauguration of its custom-built facility, bolstering sustained investment in Ireland’s tech infrastructure and circular economy goals.
The official inauguration, set for January 15, 2026, will be led by Jin Mo Lee, Group CEO of SK tes. Minister of State for Climate, Energy and the Environment Timmy Dooley will preside over the ceremony, signaling the facility’s formal integration into Ireland’s expanding array of cutting-edge technology and sustainability centers. Minister Dooley’s responsibilities closely match the strategic importance of the new site, as Ireland continues to manage swift data center growth alongside national climate and resource recovery objectives.
The Shannon operation has been operational since fall 2025 and currently provides a comprehensive range of IT asset disposition, data center decommissioning, and secure technology lifecycle services to leading Irish companies and hyperscale players. Built to comply with stringent worldwide standards, the facility facilitates all stages of the IT lifecycle, from deployment and active use to decommissioning and certified data destruction, while emphasizing regulatory compliance, data security, and eco-friendly practices.
Market analysts observe that the Shannon region has become a key destination for technology investment, backed by robust infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and connectivity to global markets. The SK tes site has been designed to cater to both homegrown Irish firms and multinational corporations, offering flexible, regulation-compliant, and quick-turnaround services that support Ireland’s Climate Action Plan and Circular Economy objectives.
Sustainability continues to be core to SK tes’ global strategy. The company has pledged to safely and responsibly process one billion kilos of technology and battery assets by 2030, an objective that supports its mission of “sustaining tomorrow.” By employing responsible reuse, recycling, and recovery methods, SK tes aims to assist clients in cutting emissions across their technology supply chains while supporting quantifiable decarbonization results.
SK tes’ expanding footprint in Ireland has already garnered acclaim, with the company selected as a finalist for the Green Technology Award at the 2026 Green Awards. The nomination underscores its role in advancing environmental standards within the ITAD and technology lifecycle sector.
With the Shannon facility now officially commencing operations, SK tes solidifies its role as an enduring partner to Ireland’s digital economy, fostering innovation, sustainability, and employment generation while empowering businesses to handle their technology assets in a secure and responsible manner.
