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.
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. Each transition brought new challenges, new possibilities, and another opportunity to put our experience to work.
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.
To us, that means taking the time to understand the people and priorities behind the equipment. Technology decisions affect more than infrastructure. They affect day-to-day operations, budgets, sensitive information, and the people who depend on those systems. We believe those decisions deserve thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and a partner who takes responsibility for the work.
Our history gives us perspective. We’ve watched technologies become essential, mature, and eventually give way to something new. That experience has taught us to look beyond the immediate transaction and consider the full life of an asset, the purpose it serves, the value it still holds, and what should happen when it’s time to move on.
As a family business, our name is connected to the work we do, and the relationships we’ve build. We value trust earned over time, commitments kept, and the kind of service that gives customers a reason to return. Those principles have shaped our past and continue to guide our future.
More than 60 years after our founding, we’re still building on that original idea.
