2NDGEAR, a leading provider of certified refurbished IT equipment for educational systems, plans to expand with opening of an operations center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. According to state officials, New Mexico's Job Training Incentive Program will create 100 new jobs in Albuquerque.

"We are excited about expanding into Albuquerque and thankful for the warm welcome from Governor Martinez, Mayor Keller and the city's business leaders," said Richard Heard, President of 2NDGEAR's parent company, Insight Investments.

"I am pleased to welcome 2NDGEAR to Albuquerque, a mainstay for innovation and high-tech companies," stated Mayor Keller. "Creating good paying jobs is essential for our City and we look forward to working with 2NDGEAR as they continue to grow, right here in Albuquerque."

2NDGEAR's services include data destruction, equipment trade-in, e-waste recycling, onsite help desk, software and hardware installations and de-installations.

"We welcome our newest employer, 2NDGEAR, to Albuquerque's growing tech sector, and we look forward to the company's success here," said Roberta Cooper Ramo, Chair of Albuquerque Economic Development, Inc.
