Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: LQDT), announced it has acquired National Electronics Service Association (NESA) in an all-cash transaction. A Canadian provider of returns management, refurbishment and reverse logistics services for high-value consumer products, NESA provides expertise and focused services to Fortune 1000 companies in the management of Consumer Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology products.
The acquisition of NESA enhances Liquidity Services’ ability to deliver large retailers and OEMs across Canada and the U.S. a full-service, reverse logistics solution for consumer electronics and technology products, including returns management, repair services and multi-channel inventory disposition.
Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, NESA establishes Liquidity Services’ first client service and distribution center in Canada and enables the company to cross-sell services with existing and prospective clients in both the U.S. and Canada. NESA’s current service offering is supported by NESALive, a cloud based application that supports returns management, repair and refurbishment services in hundreds of product categories, including satellite TV boxes, laptops, game consoles, tablets, and e-books.
