Arthur and Reuben founded ARA Global Group in 2013.

RecirQ was founded on a simple yet powerful vision: to give pre-owned mobile devices a second life. Our story began in 2013 when Arthur and Reuben established ARA Global Group, recognizing the untapped potential of the used phone market.

Arthur’s entrepreneurial journey started at just sixteen, reselling Nike shoes on eBay. He mastered the art of identifying valuable pre-owned products, refurbishing them, and reselling them for a profit. Reuben, meanwhile, focused on one of eBay’s best-selling items—used BlackBerry phones. Together, they began sourcing, refurbishing, and selling wholesale used phones, laying the foundation for what would become a leader in the wholesale mobile device industry.

In 2017, ARA Global Group relocated from Brooklyn, New York, to Doral, Florida, expanding its operations to meet growing demand. By 2022, the company rebranded as RecirQ, moved its headquarters in Hialeah, Florida. In 2024, we moved once again, to a larger facility in Fort Worth, Texas, Solidifying our place as a trusted wholesale iPhone supplier and provider of bulk used phones.
