Allshred Services Inc., Toledo, Ohio, has broken ground on a new facility that will be located in a township adjacent to the northwest Ohio city.
According to a report in the Toledo Business Journal, construction started late this summer on a new 46,000 sq. ft. building on four-and-a-half acres of land in Monclova Township, Ohio. The new facility will reportedly cost $3.25 million and house the company’s 35 employees and fleet of 11 shredding trucks.
Allshred is headed by Willie Geiser, a former president of the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID). The company was also featured in the April 2003 edition of Recycling Today.
Geiser says the new facility will be equipped with a closed circuit television system that will allow the firm to offer plant-based secure destruction services that can be viewed by clients.
The company has secured an SBA (Small Business Administration) 504 loan through the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority to help finance the new building, according to the Toledo Business Journal report.
The company is also planning to upgrade its plant-based shredding system when it moves into its new facility, gearing up from it current one 75-hp shredder to operating two shredders, one a 150 hp model and the other a 125 hp shredder.Latest from Recycling Today
