Greenbox acquires EraseIT from Interactive

Australian sustainable technology lifecycle management firm Greenbox Group has acquired Melbourne-headquartered EraseIT from IT services provider Interactive.  

Part of Interactive since 2018, EraseIT (founded in 2009) is a provider of data cleansing and asset disposal services.  

Greenbox has been operating for 25 years with a Trans-Tasman footprint that includes facilities across Australia and New Zealand. 

EraseIT’s operations will move into Greenbox Group, with the acquisition following Greenbox’s purchasing of Remark IT in New Zealand last year.   

“We were drawn to EraseIT due to our shared focus, complementary operations, and the synergies offered for building world-leading circular economy practices,” said Ross Thompson, CEO of Greenbox Group.  

“Bringing EraseIT into the Greenbox fold means that together we have an expanded footprint across new locations, stronger systems and services to support customers, and access to a wide network of Australasian clients. All existing EraseIT clients will enjoy these benefits.” 

Interactive CEO Alexandra Coates said this action sets both EraseIT and Interactive up for long-term success.  

“EraseIT is joining a specialist owner with deep expertise in sustainable IT asset management, giving it the scale and investment to meet evolving market demands and deliver even greater value to customers,” she said. 

“As part of Greenbox Group, EraseIT will be at the forefront of CleanTech innovation and circular economy leadership across Australasia. For Interactive, this move is a direct reflection of our Unite28 strategy—sharpening our focus on core products and services.”
