Stay Safe Solutions Acquires Document Destruction Business

12/1/2009

Move will strengthen company's business in California


Stay Safe Shred and Recycle, an affiliate of Stay Safe Solutions, has purchased the document destruction business line from PRIDE Industries, increasing its document shredding and recycling services throughout California.
By adding PRIDE Industries’ document shredding and recycling equipment and customers, Stay Safe Shred and Recycle will be able to help ensure that a greater number of businesses statewide can rest assured that their sensitive information has been properly destroyed,” said Ken Shoemake, CEO of Stay Safe Solutions.

Additionally, as a member of the Secure Document Alliance, Stay Safe Shred and Recycle is positioned to service document destruction contracts on a national basis. PRIDE Industries began partnering with Stay Safe Shred and Recycle, a service-disabled/veteran-owned small business, more than five years ago. As part of the transaction, PRIDE Industries has also sold its shred and recycling service vehicles and equipment to Stay Safe Shred and Recycle. Employees of the PRIDE Industries document destruction business will become Stay Safe employees, ensuring the maximum consistency of service to its customers. No other terms of the deal are being disclosed.
“Stay Safe Shred and Recycle has successfully partnered with PRIDE and shared in our social mission for several years,” said Mauro Lara, VP of Operations for PRIDE. “When PRIDE decided to exit this line of business, Stay Safe Shred and Recycle was the only company we considered to take over our business.”

Stay Safe Solutions, started in 2003, has expanded to create six companies that offer a variety of products, services and solutions for businesses and government organizations.
