F9 and Foxway have forged a strategic partnership to revitalize sustainable tech distribution. This collaboration combines F9’s robust distribution network with Foxway’s expertise in circular tech, specifically through its Teqcycle premium product brand, to offer a comprehensive solution that meets the increasing demand for sustainable IT products in the B2B sector.
As a significant player in Finland and the Baltic market, F9 ensures that Teqcycle’s distribution extends across these key regions.
A shift toward more sustainable procurement
The market for refurbished tech devices has historically been fragmented, with challenges such as inconsistent quality, limited availability, and consumer uncertainty. F9 Distribution, recognizing the potential for growth and the need for quality in the circular economy, has developed an operating model that addresses these challenges head-on.
We aim to continuously bring our customers new growth opportunities while promoting important sustainability goals. With the operating model we have built, we can offer a diverse and high-quality product portfolio, ensuring consistent device quality and availability

This strategic move aligns with F9’s commitment to advancing sustainable practices. By distributing high-quality renewed devices under the Teqcycle brand, F9 offers businesses and public-sector organizations a viable alternative to new tech products.
The role of Teqcycle in the partnership
Teqcycle, under Foxway’s management, plays a key role in this transformation. Known for its meticulous refurbishment process, Teqcycle products undergo thorough testing, cleaning, and necessary repairs before being resold. This process includes data wiping, component testing, and reassembly, ensuring the devices are fully functional and aesthetically restored.
Categorized into Premium+ and Premium grades, Teqcycle devices meet the highest standards and come with extended warranties — three years for Premium+ and two years for Premium.
The result is a premium product that competes with new devices in terms of quality and performance while aligning with science-based targets that aim to significantly reduce Scope 3 emissions – by up to 97% compared to new devices.
Meeting market demands
This partnership is particularly relevant for distributors and large resellers increasingly tasked with providing sustainable solutions to their customers. Expanding F9’s offerings with Teqcycle devices allows these resellers to meet diverse client needs, from businesses looking to reduce their negative environmental impact to public-sector organizations aiming to comply with EU sustainability regulations.
Mika Heikell, Director of Sustainability and Service Operations at F9, highlights the importance of this approach: “We want to respond to the changing demands of the market and offer our resellers solutions that enhance their carbon handprint.”
This focus on circular tech is a proactive strategy designed to lead the industry in responsible tech distribution, making it easier for businesses to meet their sustainability goals without compromising quality.
I am thrilled to announce that our partnership with F9 Distribution is being expanded, highlighting our shared commitment to quality and sustainable tech. A collaboration with an esteemed distributor like F9 Distribution not only strengthens the presence of our Teqcycle products in the Nordic and Baltic markets but also underscores our global sustainable tech distribution aspirations.

Setting a new standard in tech distribution
The F9 and Foxway partnership sets a new benchmark for more sustainable technology distribution. It allows businesses to stay competitive while embracing the growing demand for green IT solutions.
The partnership is expected to have a significant impact, with F9 beginning the promotion and availability of Teqcycle devices in July 2024. As the tech industry evolves, this collaboration will serve as a model for harmonizing sustainability and business growth.
