At IFA 2025 in Berlin, NSYS Group and Aplong Technology announced a strategic partnership aimed at redefining quality and trust within the global secondary mobile device market. The collaboration aligns two complementary forces according to the companies: Aplong’s expertise in supplying high-quality components for refurbishment and repair, and NSYS Group’s advanced software solutions for diagnostics, automated grading, data erasure, and process transparency.
Both companies share a vision for a circular, reliable, and transparent technology ecosystem that supports the growing demand for sustainable device reuse. “At NSYS Group, we believe the future of technology cannot rely on short cycles and disposable habits. Devices deserve a second life, and people deserve confidence in every purchase,” the company stated.
Combining hardware and digital precision
Through this partnership, NSYS Group and Aplong aim to establish a unified quality standard that bridges the gap between hardware reliability and digital accuracy. Aplong's trusted spare parts will now be paired with NSYS’s software ecosystem, ensuring that each refurbished Apple iPhone or Android device meets consistent and verifiable standards.
The joint framework introduces transparency across the entire lifecycle of a device — from testing and grading to component replacement and data security. By connecting both companies’ systems, refurbishers and repair businesses worldwide will gain access to an integrated solution that simplifies operations and enhances customer trust.
Building a stronger ecosystem together
The partnership marks a significant step toward a global, collaborative model for circular technology. Aplong’s European director, Rui Du, described the cooperation as “a natural step.” He added: “We share a large customer base and are perfectly positioned to complement each other in the vital areas of grading and parts. Our next focus will be the potential integration of our respective products into our systems in the future.”
From NSYS Group’s side, Gregory Glazman confirmed that the collaboration was driven by customer demand: “Aplong proposed a joint effort to attract new clients, driven by the fact that many companies are already successfully working with either or both NSYS and Aplong.”
A milestone for circular innovation
This partnership underscores a growing movement within the secondary market toward integration and trust. By combining software intelligence with verified hardware quality, NSYS Group and Aplong are not only improving process efficiency but also strengthening customer confidence.
The alliance signals the beginning of a new era for the industry, one where cooperation replaces fragmentation, and sustainability becomes the foundation for future growth. Both companies emphasize that this is just the beginning of a long-term effort to reshape the standards of the global secondary device ecosystem.
