SHANNON, IE – 27/12/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Ireland’s expanding role in Europe’s digital and sustainability landscape is gaining further momentum with the opening of a new SK tes facility in Shannon, County Clare. The global provider of secure technology lifecycle management and IT asset disposition (ITAD) services has announced the official launch of its purpose-built site, reinforcing long-term investment in Ireland’s technology infrastructure and circular economy ambitions.
The formal opening ceremony, scheduled for January 15, 2026, will be hosted by Jin Mo Lee, Group CEO of SK tes. Minister of State for Climate, Energy and the Environment Timmy Dooley will officiate the event, marking the site’s official entry into Ireland’s growing network of advanced technology and sustainability hubs. Minister Dooley’s portfolio aligns closely with the strategic importance of the new facility, as Ireland continues to balance rapid data center expansion with national climate and resource recovery goals.
The Shannon operation has been active since autumn 2025 and already delivers a full spectrum of IT asset disposition, data center decommissioning, and secure technology lifecycle services to major Irish enterprises and hyperscale operators. Designed to meet rigorous global standards, the facility supports every phase of the IT lifecycle, from deployment and active use to decommissioning and certified data destruction, while prioritizing compliance, security, and environmental responsibility.
Industry observers note that the Shannon region has emerged as a focal point for technology investment, supported by strong infrastructure, skilled talent, and access to international markets. The SK tes site has been engineered to serve both indigenous Irish businesses and multinational organizations, offering scalable, compliant, and rapid-response services that align with Ireland’s Climate Action Plan and Circular Economy Strategy.
Sustainability remains central to SK tes’ global strategy. The company has committed to securely and responsibly transforming one billion kilograms of technology and battery assets by 2030, a goal that underpins its mission of “sustaining tomorrow.” Through responsible reuse, recycling, and recovery practices, SK tes aims to help clients reduce emissions across their technology supply chains while supporting measurable decarbonization outcomes.
SK tes’ growing presence in Ireland has already attracted recognition, with the company named a finalist for the Green Technology Award at the 2026 Green Awards. The nomination highlights its contribution to advancing environmental standards within the ITAD and technology lifecycle sector.
With the Shannon facility now formally opening its doors, SK tes strengthens its position as a long-term partner to Ireland’s digital economy, supporting innovation, sustainability, and job creation while enabling enterprises to manage technology assets securely and responsibly.
