Medellín Highway Km. 7 Celta Trade Park, Warehouse 89-6, Bogota, Cundinamarca, 250027, Colombia

Overview

Refurbi promotes the reuse and recycling of electronic devices in Latin America by combining industrial-grade refurbishment processes with proprietary technology and a user-centric trust model. Its offering has evolved into an ecosystem that includes a marketplace for refurbished phones, trade-in programs, specialized software, and bundled financing and insurance options for retailers, manufacturers, mobile operators, and insurers. The company provides 14-month warranties, premium packaging, and a 30-day return policy to mirror the experience of buying new devices while reducing environmental impact. Having served more than 80,000 users, Refurbi estimates it already touches roughly 0.5% of Colombia’s total mobile phone market and became profitable in 2024. The firm is regarded as the country’s fastest-growing player in refurbished technology and plans to use its proven model to enter Mexico next. Management targets US$100 million in revenue by 2030 and views well-executed refurbishment as critical digital-inclusion infrastructure for the region.
