A Trusted Partner for Secure IT Asset Disposition, Equipment Buyback, and Data Protection Since 1965

At DES Technologies, we help IT departments, businesses, and organizations turn aging technology into opportunity—securely, responsibly, and cost-effectively.

For more than six decades, we’ve supported organizations across Southern California with reliable IT asset disposition (ITAD), secure data destruction, and IT equipment buyback services. From legacy storage media and data center hardware to modern IT and medical equipment, we manage the full technology lifecycle with precision, transparency, and care.

We’re not a broker.
We’re not a middleman.
We’re a long-standing, family-owned company that does this work every day—on our own floor, with our own processes, and with your data security as the top priority.

Our Story: Built on Experience, Grown Through Trust

DES Technologies was founded in 1965 with a simple idea: technology should be managed responsibly from beginning to end.

What started as a round-reel tape operation in Downey, California grew alongside the IT industry itself. Over the decades, we evolved through every major era of data storage and enterprise technology—disk pack systems, magnetic tape, hard drives, networked storage, tape libraries, and today’s cloud-integrated environments.

While the technology changed, our values never did.

We remain a family-owned and operated business, rooted in Southern California, operating from a company-owned facility for more than 20 years. Our longevity isn’t accidental—it’s the result of doing things the right way, year after year.

We’ve earned the trust of:

Fortune 500 companies
Government agencies
Healthcare organizations
Educational institutions
Small and mid-sized businesses

Our reputation is built on consistency, accountability, and results.

The Value We Bring to Your Organization

Experience You Can Rely On

A Spotless Security Record

Across thousands of transactions, DES Technologies has never experienced a data breach or data loss incident. Security isn’t a marketing claim—it’s a documented reality.

IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)

We purchase used and surplus IT equipment, data center hardware, storage media, and medical equipment—helping organizations recover value from assets that no longer serve them.

Secure Data Destruction

Your data security is non-negotiable. Our processes are designed to ensure sensitive information is destroyed according to industry standards and best practices.

Electronics Recycling

We prioritize responsible recycling and reuse, keeping equipment out of landfills and supporting sustainable technology practices.

Asset Recovery & Remarketing

When equipment still holds value, we help maximize returns through ethical and secure resale channels.
