What NCS Integration with Celestica Means for Your Business

Business leaders must be capable of swiftly and confidently responding to changing conditions. As the IT landscape evolves, they must keep up with new technology, phasing out their aging equipment and replacing it with modern tools that will help them maintain their competitive edge.

To do that, IT departments must master the science of IT asset management (ITAM), partnering with experts who add unique value to the process. Data security, sustainability, and compliance have become essential elements of IT lifecycle management. That’s why businesses need reliable, scalable, responsive partners to help them execute rapidly and efficiently.

Joining Celestica, a global leader in lifecycle management, design, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions for electronics, significantly enhances NCS Global’s capabilities and geographical coverage, allowing us to offer a broader spectrum of services to our IT asset disposition (ITAD) clients.

Overview of the NCS-Celestica Integration

Celestica was founded in 1994 as a subsidiary of IBM, focusing on manufacturing electronic components for IBM’s products. In 1996, Celestica became an independent company. Over the years, the company expanded its operations globally, evolving into a leading design, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions provider across multiple industries, including aerospace, healthcare, and communications.

NCS Global, established in the mid-1990s, is a leading provider of ITAD services. Headquartered in Rochester, New Hampshire, we specialize in secure data destruction, sustainable electronic waste recycling, and compliance with environmental and data security regulations. NCS Global has developed a reputation as a leader in sustainability, recognized by eStewards, Ecovadis, and other prominent organizations for our pioneering efforts in promoting the circular economy. In fact, NCS has been recognized with the prestigious Ecovadis Platinum medal, indicating that we are among the top 1% of companies scored by that organization.

Celestica’s acquisition of NCS Global in 2024 reflects its firm ongoing commitment to ITAD services as a critical element of IT lifecycle management. Celestica brings significant resources to the table, offering distinct advantages for our client community. The integration enables expanded geographical reach, enhanced resources, and standardized services. 

Expanded Global Footprint

The merger of NCS into Celestica will significantly expand our roster of service locations, providing a broader global footprint that now includes New England (NH), the Midwest (Texas), and Hino, Japan. This enables us to achieve faster customer response times, with localized support tailored to regional requirements. It also enhances our ability to manage IT assets seamlessly across international borders. This integration means greater efficiency and consistent service delivery for businesses with global operations, regardless of location.

Enhanced Resources and Capabilities

With Celestica’s backing, NCS Global now leverages cutting-edge technology and resources, such as the Spectrum Pro inventory management platform. This tool, developed and maintained by Celestica, will significantly enhance our customers’ ability to track and manage their IT assets across all of our locations with greater accuracy and transparency than ever before.

NCS Global’s customers also stand to benefit from improved tracking and auditing capabilities. A multinational corporation, for example, can now get real-time updates and detailed reporting that span the entire IT asset lifecycle. This enhanced capability improves compliance and helps organizations make better-informed decisions about asset recovery and disposition.

Standardized Processes Across Locations

Integrating NCS Global with Celestica brings a unified approach to service delivery across all facilities. Customers can expect standardized processes, ensuring that the quality of service remains consistent across all locations, from our New Hampshire facility to Richardson, Texas, and Hino, Japan.

This standardization elevates our customers’ experiences by reducing variability and ensuring that all service locations adhere to the same high standards. Customers can trust their assets are handled with the utmost professionalism and care, no matter where the services are performed.
