SHANNON, IE / ACCESS Newswire / April 24, 2025 / SK tes, a global leader in sustainable IT asset disposition (ITAD) and technology lifecycle services, has announced plans to open a new 36,000 square foot purpose-built facility in Shannon, marking a major vote of confidence in Ireland's thriving data and technology sector.
The new facility will deliver comprehensive ITAD, data center decommissioning, and technology lifecycle management services to some of Ireland's largest enterprises, including hyperscale data center operators, while supporting national sustainability and circular economy goals. It will also create over 25 skilled jobs in one of the country's fastest-growing tech regions.
"Ireland is at the forefront of Europe's digital economy, and our investment in Shannon reinforces our commitment to helping Irish companies manage technology securely, sustainably, and at scale," said Eric Ingebretsen, Chief Commercial Officer at SK tes. "This facility will allow us to meet the unique needs of Ireland's tech sector, especially large data centers, with world-class services delivered locally."
Strategically located in Shannon, County Clare, the new site positions SK tes to offer rapid, secure, and compliant services for every stage of the IT lifecycle-from equipment deployment and maintenance, to decommissioning and certified data destruction. With its ability to quickly scale operations, the facility is built to meet the evolving needs of both indigenous Irish companies and multinationals operating within the country.
"This isn't just another facility-it's a statement of intent," said Thomas Holberg, Chief Operating Officer at SK tes. "We're here to support Ireland's technology leaders as they build a more sustainable digital future. Our Shannon site will support Irish businesses in achieving their reuse and sustainability targets while creating meaningful employment and strengthening the region's role as a technology and innovation hub."
SK tes' investment comes as Ireland continues to attract major global data center infrastructure and tech companies, while placing increased emphasis on sustainability and resource recovery. With its ability to extend the lifecycle of technology assets, securely destroy data, and responsibly recycle materials, the new site directly supports the goals set out in Ireland's Climate Action Plan and Circular Economy Strategy.
The Shannon site joins SK tes' growing global network, which includes over 40 owned facilities across 22 countries, providing consistent, secure, and sustainable IT lifecycle solutions to customers around the world.

LiberNovo: From Spring Cleaning to Physical Renewal12.3.2026 09:00:00 CET | Press release
HONG KONG, HK / ACCESS Newswire / March 12, 2026 / As the annual ritual of spring cleaning approaches, a new movement in functional design is shifting the focus from tidying desks to restoring the bodies that sit at them. LiberNovo, a pioneer in health-first design, has announced its spring initiative: a fundamental reimagining of the smart workspace that prioritizes physical fluidity over static organization. New Season, New Standards For decades, office chair ergonomics centered on the "90-degree rule"-a rigid posture that modern research suggests is counterproductive. The true culprit of office fatigue isn't just sitting; it is the lack of movement. Prolonged static positions compress the spine and reduce circulation. LiberNovo's philosophy asserts that a "Spring Reset" is incomplete if it only addresses surface-level clutter while leaving the body in a state of constant strain. Engineering Movement At the core of this movement is the LiberNovo Omni, a chair designed to master Dynam

Tenstorrent Unveils TT-QuietBox(TM) 2, the First RISC-V AI Workstation With a Fully Open-Source Stack to Deliver Teraflop-Class Inference11.3.2026 17:00:00 CET | Press release
Liquid-Cooled Desktop System Runs Models up to 120B Parameters Locally With a Fully Open-Source Stack, Starting at $9,999 SANTA CLARA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / Tenstorrent, the AI computing company led by CEO Jim Keller, today announced TT-QuietBox™ 2 (Blackhole™). This whisper-quiet, liquid-cooled AI workstation runs models up to 120 billion parameters directly at your desk, ships with an entirely open-source software stack from compiler to kernel, and starts at $9,999. It marks the industry's first desktop AI workstation built on RISC-V architecture to deliver teraflop-class inference. The Inference Imperative The timing matters. Inference has quietly overtaken training as the dominant AI workload, now accounting for more than 55% of cloud AI infrastructure spending at $37.5 billion - and it is still accelerating. Yet, developers running these workloads face a stark choice: pay per-token cloud fees that compound as usage scales, or buy hardware locked to proprietary st
