UNTHA Opens U.S. Service Center

UNTHA Shredding Technology, an industrial shredder manufacturer headquartered in Salzburg, Austria, has announced the opening of its first North American service and support center in Newburyport, Mass.

According to Bernhard Mueggler, CEO of UNTHA America, the new center will support the existing sales office and will provide technical services and customer support throughout the United States and Canada. “Over 8,000 UNTHA shredders are currently in operation throughout the world,” says Mueggler. “Interest is growing in both the United States and Canada for UNTHA’s patented four-shaft shredding technology, which reliably shreds virtually any natural or manufactured materials including metal, wood, plastic, paper, rubber, electronics and hazardous waste.”

The new North American service and support center will offer product demonstrations to enable potential customers to have their specific materials shredded under realistic operating conditions to demonstrate the equipment’s viability for their specific industries and applications.

UNTHA shredders are used for processing materials for recycling or disposal in a range of industries, including manufacturing, woodworking, data and product destruction, domestic and commercial recycling and waste disposal, waste-to-fuel conversion and hazardous waste processing.

UNTHA Shredding Technology was founded in 1977. It currently has more than 100 employees with sales partners in 60 countries. More information on the company can be found at www.untha-america.com.
