A Shred Ahead acquires Paper Dragon

Mobile document destruction company A Shred Ahead, headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, has acquired Paper Dragon of Grand Island, Nebraska, extending its regional coverage into that state.

Paper Dragon was a local, family-owned shredding company serving Central Nebraska for nearly a decade. The company also was very active in the local community, hosting annual community shredding events, as well as many other forms of outreach.

A Shred Ahead says existing Paper Dragon clients can expect A Shred Ahead to continue offering the same quality shredding and support with no gaps in service. Additionally, as a larger regional shredder, A Shred Ahead will bring more capacity and resources to the area.

"Everyone here at A Shred Ahead is excited to hit the ground running in central Nebraska, and we couldn't be happier to acquire a local leader in Paper Dragon," says John Chapman, co-owner of A Shred Ahead. "It's always inspiring to see the impact a company like Paper Dragon has in their community. Our goal has always been to provide the personal service and support of a small, local business with the resources and capability of a national company. We're very excited for the opportunity to bring A Shred Ahead to a new area and market."

Since the company's founding in 2003, A Shred Ahead has expanded from a local shredding company serving the Raleigh area to one of the largest independent regional shredding services in the United States. A Shred Ahead says it now serves the shredding and document destruction needs of clients in 13 states, and the company is continually growing its operational coverage as opportunities in new markets become available.
