Happy Monday! Letโ€™s get stuck in.

Circular Feature Showcase: Iron Mountain ALM

Following its recent acquisition of ACT Group in Australia, weโ€™re delighted to welcome Iron Mountain ALM back for another featured showcase.

Iron Mountain Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) is the ITAD and hardware asset management arm of Iron Mountain Inc, a multi-billion-dollar information management and data services leader trusted by over 225,000 organisations worldwide, including over 90% of the Fortune 1000. With more than 70 years of history, beginning life as a mushroom farm, Iron Mountain has evolved into a global symbol of security, circularity, and service.

With operations in 30+ countries, Iron Mountain ALM delivers end-to-end ITAD services across both corporate environments and hyperscale data centres. Their offering spans secure logistics and chain of custody, certified data sanitisation, refurbishment, redeployment, and decommissioning, all underpinned by leading standards such as R2v3, ISO certifications, and audited compliance frameworks.

Built on circular economy principles, Iron Mountain ALM helps customers drive IT efficiencies and maximise ROI through responsible reuse and value recovery, with an unwavering focus on compliance and security.

Since 2022, Iron Mountain ALM has pursued an aggressive M&A strategy to consolidate the fragmented ITAD market, acquiring ITRenew (2022), Regency Technologies (2024), Wisetek (2024), APCD (2024), Premier Surplus (2025), and ACT Group (2025). The ACT Group acquisition strengthens Iron Mountainโ€™s presence in APAC, with ACT Logistics, ACT Networks, and Australian Computer Traders adding national facilities, comprehensive logistics capabilities, and remarketing expertise under the ALM umbrella.

Looking ahead, Iron Mountain ALM is continuing to expand its global ITAD and hardware asset management footprint, with a clear focus on scaling circular solutions for both corporate and cloud customers. As demand grows for secure, compliant, and sustainable IT lifecycle services, Iron Mountainโ€™s strategy is to build a truly global, standardised platform that can serve enterprises end-to-end. Expect more investment, acquisitions, and innovation as they push to set the benchmark for ITAD worldwide.
