TechTurn, the leader in technology returns and refurbishment, secured a ‘Leaders’ position in Gartner’s 2011 Magic Quadrant for North America Information Technology Asset Disposition.* This Magic Quadrant represents the first refresh of Gartner’s initial (2010) coverage of this industry segment.

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is based on an extensive assessment of a company’s completeness of vision and ability to execute.
