Spend a few minutes inside a modern electronics repair facility, and the contrast is hard to miss.  On one side, operators are working with some of the most sophisticated devices ever made: smartphones, laptops, wearables, all built with embedded intelligence and precision components.  On the other side, operators are still stopping mid-job to hunt for a procedure. Ask around, click through folders, open the file, check […]

Our teams in Mexicali and Reynosa have been making the most of the spring season, with a range of activities that bring people together, give back to the community, and celebrate what makes our company culture worth talking about. Here’s a look at what’s been happening.    Mexicali: Teamwork On and Off the Field   Friendly Games, Friendly Competition    Employees […]

   Imagine this: you are standing in Woking, Surrey, England, within the McLaren Technology Centre. In front of you is the championship-winning McLaren MCL39, the body cosmetically restored to like-new condition after its past year of hard racing.  CEO Zak Brown eagerly explains the aerodynamic setup that brought the team to victory last season. […]

At Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz primary school in Reynosa, a new computer lab is giving students more consistent access to technology and a different way to engage with learning. The space was made possible through a joint effort, with Reconext contributing funding alongside other organizations to support the purchase of equipment and the […]

Retiring medical devices conservatively feels like the safe choice. For most device categories, it’s actually just an expensive one.  With its ISO 13485:2016 certification in May 2026, Reconext’s Mexicali Tecnomex facility will be fully equipped to return retired medical devices to market safely and compliantly, opening the door to a secondary market that is larger than most people realize and […]

A few years ago, IT asset disposition was mainly a concern for larger companies. Today, small and big companies alike have ITAD strategies that ensure retired IT assets are handled securely and responsibly.  If your business retires IT equipment regularly, you are under more pressure regarding data security, compliance, asset recovery, and e-waste than you […]

When Reconext CEO Shahriyar Rahmati took the stage at ITAD Europe 2026 earlier this April, he came with a pointed observation: the hardware your organization is paying someone to take away may be one of the more undervalued assets on your balance sheet.  Data center vacancy in North America has hit historic lows. Power and permitting constraints are slowing […]

Every year, millions of IT assets move through device lifecycle programs worldwide, and almost every single one is received in the same slow, manual way. Operators juggle multiple screens and scan the same barcode three times, all while entering data by hand. It’s a process that has barely changed in decades, and the inefficiency has become a quiet, accepted […]

Digital twins have already become standard practice in the most demanding engineering environments in the world. Automotive manufacturers simulate crash physics before building a prototype. Semiconductor fabs model production lines before installing a single machine. Aerospace companies run virtual stress tests before a component reaches the factory floor.  The organizations that simulate first and build second make […]

Back in September, one of our customers scoped a data center refresh at $7.4 million.  Today, well, that same project is worth $27 million.  Nothing changed in the design. It had the same infrastructure, same requirements, and the same outcome. The components just changed in value. Most of that jump comes from memory, but storage device pricing is climbing too as availability tightens.  […]

Processing large volumes of enterprise technology requires more than technical expertise. High-reliability operations depend on environments where workspaces, tools, and materials are organized for consistency and safety.  Reconext’s Mexicali Gómez Morín and Tecnomex facilities demonstrate this approach at scale. Together employing more than 1,000 people, these sites form a key part of our daily cross-border operational flow with the nearby Calexico facility. They’ve been running for more […]

Picture this: fifty thousand laptops enter your asset recovery pipeline in a single quarter. They represent millions of dollars in recoverable value, measurable ESG outcomes, and significant brand exposure in secondary markets. Jackpot! Yet they also represent one of the most operationally complex device categories. Laptops arrive in mixed condition, require cosmetic and functional grading, […]
