Cyculus, a leading European device processing specialist, is launching Screentech, an advanced smartphone glass replacement technology powered by Apkudo. This technology directly addresses the industry's most common and costly issue—cracked screens—by providing a scalable solution for high-quality refurbishment at a significantly lower cost. By preserving original display components, it reduces e-waste and increases the value of repaired devices.
This new offering adds to the Cyculus Total Care portfolio—further enhancing the value Cyculus delivers to its customers across the mobile device lifecycle. Read the full announcement to learn how this addition offers a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible solution.
Göppingen, Germany – September 24, 2025 – Cyculus Services, Europe’s first independent, fully automated Device Processing as a Service (DPaaS) provider, is deepening its integration with Apkudo. This collaboration introduces a reliable, repeatable, high-quality glass replacement solution to the Cyculus Total Care portfolio—further enhancing the value Cyculus delivers to its customers across the mobile device lifecycle.
Given that at least half of smartphone users experience a cracked screen at some point in device ownership, this new offering provides a sustainable solution, ensuring extended usability for damaged devices. The region’s OEMs, wireless carriers, retailers, and enterprises will now have access to refurbishment options that reduce costs, ensure the highest quality, and provide a repeatable solution for this growing need.
This new repair service, driven by integrated software, uses precision equipment to separate damaged glass from the original display components (LCD, OLED, or digitizer). This method allows for high-quality repairs at a significantly lower cost by preserving original manufacturer parts when new glass is applied. Specialized software and equipment ensure consistent, high-quality results with each repair.
“This partnership is a natural evolution of our mission to redefine device processing through automation, precision, and sustainability,” said Fergal Donovan, CEO and Co-Founder of Cyculus. “Adding Screentech’s leading re-glassing solution to our Total Care offering gives our customers a cost-effective, high-quality solution that extends device life and maximises recovery value.”
Apkudo’s CEO and Co-Founder, Josh Matthews, added, “Cyculus continues to demonstrate its commitment to excellence, bringing state-of-the-art services to market. Customers powered by Apkudo are able to unlock more value from the devices they process and the services they deliver. Through this partnership, more devices will receive high-quality repair and reuse—advancing circularity, reducing e-waste, and driving meaningful value uplift across the industry.”
Cyculus is officially launching glass replacement services in late September, delivering trusted, tested, and efficient repair—without the cost or waste of full screen replacement.
