revendor

revendor is a privately held technology resale and refurbishment company headquartered in Singapore. Founded in 2015, the company has positioned itself as a key player in the global secondary electronics market, offering a range of services that include buying, refurbishing, and reselling pre‑owned consumer electronics, such as smartphones, laptops, and smart home devices. Its business model emphasizes sustainability by extending the lifecycle of devices and reducing electronic waste.

The company operates a vertically integrated supply chain, sourcing products through corporate buyback programs, auctions, and private transactions. After rigorous inspection and refurbishment processes, devices are repackaged with protective accessories and sold through e‑commerce platforms, retail partners, and B2B channels. revendor has gained a reputation for strict quality assurance, providing warranties that vary by product category to reinforce consumer confidence.

revendor has partnered with several multinational consumer electronics firms to manage surplus inventory and facilitate responsible recycling. In 2020 the company announced a strategic investment from a Singaporean impact investment fund, which enabled expansion into the Malaysian and Indonesian markets. By 2023 revendor reported annual revenues exceeding US$300 million, with a growing footprint in data centers to support the allocation of older server hardware to developing economies.

The company’s leadership is chaired by CEO Wei Hong Tan, a former senior executive in the Asian electronics retail sector. While revendor’s rapid growth has been generally well received, some industry analysts have raised questions about the environmental impact of mass refurbishing and the transparency of supply chain audits. Overall, revendor continues to expand its services, focusing on circular economy principles and leveraging digital platforms to broaden its customer base.
