Information management services Iron Mountain has acquired Brisbane-headquartered ACT Group.
ACT Logistics is the central hub of the Group’s operations. It purchases retired ICT assets, transports them to nationwide facilities and audits, stores and redeploys them - or sanitises them - before remarketing through domestic and international channels.
ACT Logistics serves customers across various sectors including government, finance, healthcare, and education.
ACT Networks is a specialist division of the Group focused on extracting value from data centre and networking equipment. ACT Networks purchases, remanufactures and remarkets servers, switches, firewalls and more once the data on them has been sanitised.
ACT Professional Services provides project management staff and field teams that deploy, decommissions and relocates some of Australia’s largest companies.
Australian Computer Traders, the retail arm of the Group, provides the opportunity to purchase retired assets that have been sanitised and returned to fully operational status. This division sells new or refurbished computers, monitors, peripherals and software with full warranties.
"Iron Mountain is committed to supporting organisations in their digital transformation journeys, delivering sustainable solutions, and ensuring data security,” said Stuart Dahlenburg, Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) MD for Iron Mountain Asia Pacific.
“We're building a customer-focused ALM team with the scale, talent, and infrastructure to be the partner of choice for all our customers' information management and IT asset lifecycle needs. ACT Logistics’ exceptional reputation and deep market expertise will significantly enhance our presence in the region, benefiting customers through expanded capabilities and service offerings."
In 2016, the ACCC approved Iron Mountain's $3.4 billion takeover of ASX-listed Recall Holdings.
