NC Paper Shredding Companies That Have Been Recently Acquired

There’s a lot happening in the shredding industry in the Triangle lately, and it could affect you directly. Some North Carolina paper shredding companies have been recently acquired, meaning there may soon be some changes to your local shredding service provider.

As small local paper shredding companies are absorbed by big businesses, it could have an impact on your existing shredding service. Your confidential data destruction plan may be purchased before you even know who the new owners are. And once purchased, your account could be managed by new representatives you’ve never met before. It might even be remotely controlled from a generic corporate office outside your region. With the new transition in ownership, you may even be subject to new policies, scheduling, or pricing structures.

Is your secure shredding company on the list?
