Wireless Dealer Magazine Reports on a Strategic Move Reshaping the Used-Device Industry.
At Wireless Dealer Magazine, we’ve watched the global used-device market evolve rapidly—but few moves have been as significant as this one. On April 1, 2025, ITOCHU Corporation—through its New York-based subsidiary, ITOCHU International Inc.—finalized its acquisition of 79.5% of WeSellCellular LLC, marking a strategic entrance into the U.S. used-device market.
A Pivotal Move
This pivotal move reflects ITOCHU’s ongoing commitment to the global circular economy, especially in mobile device distribution. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Brentwood, NY, WeSellCellular has established itself as a premier supplier to small and medium-sized retailers and wholesalers across Europe, North, Central, and South America.
According to ITOCHU, this acquisition is central to its global expansion strategy. After launching Belong Inc. in 2019, ITOCHU now designates North America as its top market for used-device distribution. Their plan? To deploy experienced management and share quality-control protocols to elevate operational rigor and profitability across both entities. This aligns with ITOCHU’s focus under its “Brand-new Deal,” a global network for the sustainable reuse of mobile devices.
So, what does this mean for WeSellCellular’s customers?
A whole lot more of what they already love—only bigger, faster, and better:
- Scale & Reach: Real-time access to leading inventories across all major brands and grades, sourced from the U.S. and Japan
- Grading & QC: Enhanced consistency that minimizes returns and supports pricing integrity
- Logistics: Same-day shipping from U.S. warehouses for rapid turnaround
- Financial Flexibility: Net terms, payment options, and warranties
- Dedicated Support: Customized sourcing strategies backed by account managers
- Global Expansion: Collaboration with ITOCHU’s worldwide network to provide local support in various countries
Trust & Transparency
Of course, beyond all the operational capabilities, WeSellCellular has always stood out for its commitment to trust and transparency—qualities that have earned the company a loyal, growing customer base in a highly competitive industry. Buyers benefit from a seamless platform experience, predictable product flows, and strong after-sales support designed to keep businesses moving efficiently.
With ITOCHU’s global reach, sustainability goals, and quality-driven strategy, WeSellCellular is now better positioned than ever to deliver scalable, reliable, and sustainable sourcing solutions—empowering wholesale buyers throughout the Americas—and beyond.
