ITAD Industry Institute Webinar
Beyond the Border: How ITADs Can Build Better Business in Latin America
Latin America represents a significant reuse market for U.S. ITAD providers, but successfully selling into the region takes more than finding a buyer and quoting equipment.
In this follow-up to the ITAD Summit session, Jen Holub will take a deeper look at what ITAD providers need to understand about doing business in Latin America, including how buyers evaluate equipment, why traditional bidding does not always produce the strongest return, shipping and customs realities, free trade zones, communication, and the importance of working with experienced local partners.
Drawing on 14 years of experience moving used IT equipment into international markets, Jen will share practical ways ITAD providers can reduce friction, build stronger buyer relationships, and create more consistent long-term opportunities for reuse.
