Circular Feature Showcase: REAV

REAV was founded by four specialists in refurbishment and industrial deployment: Alexandre Isaac and Louis Mettery, the duo behind The Repair Group, together with entrepreneurial engineers Léo Gonton and Driss Benyakhlef.

They share a single ambition - to industrialise advanced repair so refurbishers, telecom operators and IT fleet owners can recover more value per device, reduce e-waste and stay ahead of tightening Right-to-Repair regulation. Built directly on the proven Seensys model, a Repair Group operation delivering a 92% repair success rate, REAV blends deep engineering expertise with documented industrial processes, training standards and digital tooling to make high-quality repair scalable anywhere in the world.

How it Works 🛠️ 

REAV designs, installs and operates turnkey repair workshops for you, fully integrated into your existing industrial workflows, covering smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops and enterprise peripherals.

Each workshop is delivered with:

  • Integrated advanced repair capabilities

  • A custom ERP with KPI tracking and quality monitoring

  • Carbon impact traceability

  • Next generation diagnostic tools

  • 24/7 expert support and continuous process optimisation

This gives customers a fully engineered repair engine capable of transforming existing device flows and shifting from basic ITAD to high-margin repair and refurb models.

Every deployment includes training for both technicians and administrators, built on the proven expertise of The Repair Academy, which has trained more than 1,000 professionals worldwide and collaborates with iFixit to ensure global best practice.

Vision 📈 

With pilot workshops launching in early 2026 and large-scale deployments planned across Europe, Africa and the US, REAV is building an international ecosystem of connected repair facilities capable of repairing more, faster, with real-time quality monitoring. The long-term goal is to become the global backbone of industrial repair, enabling the refurbishment sector to scale rapidly while sharply reducing global e-waste.

“Advanced repair is the most underestimated lever to double the value of IT flows. REAV delivers the tools, the methods, the training and the expertise to make high-quality repair scalable, anywhere in the world.”

Alexandre Isaac, CEO

Interested to Collaborate?

REAV is looking to partner with large refurbishers lacking in-house repair capabilities, telecom operators, corporate IT departments, public institutions, investors and ITAD companies transitioning toward higher margin repair.
