Two Respected Companies Becoming Even Better Together

On January 31, 2025, Sage Sustainable Electronics acquired Cascade Asset Management, creating the largest pure IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) provider in the United States. Together, the companies operate 8 processing facilities across the country and handle 1.3 million electronic assets per year for environmentally responsible and secure refurbishment and recycling. With the strategic acquisition of Cascade and recent addition of Relectro, Sage is uniquely positioned to offer end-to-end IT lifecycle services—from deployment, to repair, to end-of-life. By strengthening their commitment to circular IT solutions and driving innovation in enterprise electronics reuse and recovery, Sage helps clients reduce total cost of ownership while maximizing asset value and sustainability.
