BANBURY, ENGLAND (OXON) – June 17, 2025 – Mobio, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of premium smartphone parts, is taking a bold step forward in device refurbishment and sustainability. The company will deploy Screentech, an advanced smartphone glass replacement technology powered by Apkudo, to transform how damaged devices are repaired at scale. This move not only enhances Mobio’s repair capabilities but also signals a broader shift toward more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible mobile device lifecycle management.
With cracked screens impacting approximately half of UK smartphone users at some stage in device ownership, this partnership directly addresses the most urgent and high-volume repair need in the industry. Mobio customers, ranging from the region's largest repair centers to individual repair shops, will now have access to refurbishment options that reduce costs, ensure the highest quality, and provide a repeatable solution for this growing need.
Driven through integrated software, this new repair solution leverages precision equipment to separate damaged glass from the original LCD, OLED, or digitizer. This approach enables high-quality repairs at significantly lower costs by preserving these original manufacturer components when reassembled with new glass. Specialized software and equipment guide the repairs to ensure a consistent and quality output.
“Adding these capabilities answers a growing need for the UK market,” said Chris Zammett, Owner and Director at Mobio. “This approach delivers a reliable, scalable process that meets growing repair demands, while allowing our customers greater focus on their core business operations. We look forward to delivering this added capability that builds on the trusted and quality service our business has been built on from the beginning.”
Apkudo’s CEO and Co-Founder, Josh Matthews, added, “This is about redefining what responsible repair looks like in today’s market. By enabling high-quality, reusable component recovery at scale, we’re advancing circularity, reducing e-waste, and helping Mobio deliver meaningful value uplift for devices.”
Glass replacement options from Mobio will be available in the third quarter of 2025.
