History

Established in 1997, Hesstech, LLC has considerable industry expertise and is recognized as a leader in developing new technologies and setting industry standards. Following his employment with New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Founder and President David Zimet, worked for a private company contracted with the NJDEP, and managed site selection and development of the State's first approved, government-funded, ongoing residential electronics collection program and demanufacturing facility. This program was the first of its kind in the United States.  Known as the "Union County Demanufacturing Program," the NJDEP project unveiled key issues surrounding the improper disposal of electronic equipment and exposed a rising need for environmentally sound disposal services in the commercial sector. In response to this need, upon completion of his service with the Union County Project, Mr. Zimet established Hesstech in 1997 to serve the public and private sector with the following goals in mind:

• To balance economic processing solutions with sound environmental principles
• To responsibly extend the useful life of computers and electronics
• To provide comprehensive data security and cradle-to-grave documentation

For more than 10 years, Hesstech has provided successful electronics resale/recycling/ inventorying service options. These services range from being the primary contractor managing the removal, logistics, resale, and recycling for a large public merger/acquisition including over 900 laboratories and thousands of offices, to handling single item pack and ship services for a national sales force. 

Most organizations in the asset retirement and recycling industry look to achieve what Hesstech has developed in process efficiency, accountability, and cost control.  The STAR System^SM, Hesstech's proprietary business intelligence system, is under review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  Hesstech hopes to soon provide others with the tools needed to verify and document that services are performed in accordance with the highest industry standards and address social and environmental issues on a global scale.

Lifecycle Management

There are many models for managing the lifecycle of electronic equipment, ranging from 100 percent in-house to all or partial outsourcing for services. Here's our elevator speech…

The lifecycle of electronic products can typically be separated into three components:

1. Procurement & Deployment
2. Customer Use
3. Retirement

Hesstech specializes in retirement.  We assure custody control from the moment a unit is removed from the desk until it is repurposed for reuse or decommissioned and destroyed. Our services provide complete visibility into all aspects of the retirement process. To accomplish complete visibility throughout the entire lifecycle Hesstech can work with your internal IT staff, current vendor or Hesstech service affiliate to integrate data associated with the procurement and use of equipment within Hesstech's STAR System.  Data integration and centralization will reveal important purchasing and financial information making it easier for customers to analyze data, forecast capital expenditures and determine the cost of maintenance and other components of the asset’s lifecycle.
