JC-Electronics launches buyback scheme

The company, which is headquartered in Leek, the Netherlands and expanded into the UK in 2025, is also celebrating its 20th anniversary as a leading provider of refurbishment and repair services for industrial electronics. 

The Buyback scheme enables businesses to dispose of surplus, obsolete or faulty industrial electronics free of charge, while also generating revenue from equipment that might otherwise be discarded. 

Obsolescence in industrial products has long presented a challenge, often leading to unnecessary waste when older components are discarded prematurely. Instead of Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) compliant disposal fees, businesses can now generate revenue from equipment that would otherwise be thrown away. 

The JC-Electronics’ experienced team will visit customer sites to assess surplus stock, provide guidance on long-term equipment support and offer a competitive price for viable products. This removes the need for organising skips or arranging disposal, helping companies to reduce costs and streamline operations. 

Visitors to Smart Manufacturing Week can enter the ‘Golden Ticket’ initiative at the JC-Electronics stand G110 for a chance to win £500 off their next repair. No purchase is necessary and the prize can be applied to any repair service. 

Dan Jones, buyer at JC-Electronics, said: “This new scheme encourages companies to explore alternative ways of managing obsolete machinery, supporting more sustainable supply chains while ensuring compliance with WEEE regulations.”

With a team of 140 specialised technicians, JC-Electronics repairs, refurbishes, calibrates and tests every product to the highest standard to achieve the JCertified warranty seal. This supports effective management of the industrial electronics supply chain while delivering sustainable and cost-effective automation solutions. 

Jones continues: “We want to demonstrate that there is a viable alternative through the use of refurbished industrial automation spare parts. For the past 20 years, by choosing JCertified refurbished electronics, customers have reduced their consumption of water, raw materials, CO2 emissions and benefited from a two-year warranty.”
