Paladin Expands Secure ITAD Footprint with $70M Acquisition of Irish Provider ICT — Paladin EnviroTech, LLC

Event summary

Paladin EnviroTech acquires Ireland’s first R2-certified ITAD provider, ICT, for an undisclosed sum as part of a $70M expansion push.
The deal follows multiple acquisitions over the past nine months, totaling $70M in investment.
ICT processed 2,000 tons of end-of-life electronics and shredded 500,000+ data-bearing devices last year.
Operations will transition to Paladin’s new 52,000 sq. ft. Dublin facility.

The big picture

Paladin’s acquisition of ICT underscores the growing demand for secure IT asset disposition in Europe, particularly in Dublin, the EU’s ‘data center capital.’ The deal aligns with broader industry trends toward consolidation and vertical integration in the ITAD sector, as companies seek to minimize third-party risks and enhance supply chain resilience. With $70M invested in acquisitions over nine months, Paladin is positioning itself as a dominant player in secure technology lifecycle management.
