DMD Systems Recovery, a company specializing in end-to-end IT asset disposition solutions, has announced that it has received a significant strategic investment from Tailwind Capital. This partnership is set to drive the next stage of DMD’s growth, enabling the company to expand its reach, enhance its service offerings, and pursue new opportunities in the rapidly evolving ITAD market.
DMD plays a crucial role in enabling organizations to manage the secure and responsible disposal of aging technology infrastructure. Its services cover the full lifecycle of IT asset disposition, including asset auditing, secure data wiping, equipment deinstallation, lease return management, data center decommissioning, on-site services, and environmentally responsible disposal. The company’s approach is designed to maximize the secondary resale value of retired equipment while allowing clients to outsource the complex, labor-intensive process of decommissioning data center, networking, and end-user devices.
With a client base that includes some of the largest and most sophisticated organizations in the world, DMD has built a reputation for flexibility, security, and efficiency. The company operates in 50 countries, combining its own dedicated warehouse facilities with a broad network of certified partners to deliver consistent, high-quality service on a global scale.
Tailwind Capital’s investment makes it the majority owner of DMD and will provide the resources needed for aggressive expansion. Plans include broadening sales coverage, adding new services, and establishing operations in additional geographic markets. DMD also intends to accelerate its acquisition strategy, seeking out like-minded businesses to join forces in building what it envisions as the next generation ITAD platform — one that offers the most innovative and comprehensive set of solutions available in the industry.
