ETB Technologies wants to push into Europe

Scottish refurbished kit specialist ETB Technologies has plans to expand deeper into Europe.

The firm has revealed it is on target to break through the £15 million turnover barrier, just a couple of years after it hit £10 million and has increased staffing levels by 50 per cent since last year.

For those who came in late, ETB, which refurbishes servers, storage and networking kit from Dell, Cisco, HP and Juniper, is working on a five-year plan that includes more growth and a determination to use recently opened sites in Bellshill and Sheffield to connect with local talent pools as well as increasing its customer numbers in the UK.

The outfit said as the company marks its 20th anniversary, it will increase its market share in Europe. As things stand, half of its revenues come from overseas activities, with 40 percent of sales going to EU countries and 10 per cent to the US.

ETB managing director Nick Stapleton said that  ETB Technologies has become a force to be reckoned with, now distributing our refurbished enterprise IT equipment to more than 75 countries.

He added that it also had to thank its wider ecosystem for getting the business to this point. “The future potential of the refurbished enterprise IT sector is considerable”, he said.
