In an age when industrial espionage and identity theft have become increasingly serious threats, secure file shredding has taken on a renewed significance. Of course, for years, increasing security has meant increasing costs. That has left many businesses facing a nearly impossible choice between improved safety and an improved bottom line.

For the first time, however, there is now a way out of this seemingly immutable cost/service relationship. A handful of innovative file shredding firms have recently rolled out a new set of proprietary technologies that actually provide more secure shredding solutions for a fraction of yesterday's costs. These new technologies rely upon mobile units that destroy documents at previously impossible speeds.

The New Solution to Industrial Espionage

Businesses serious about cutting down on threats such as industrial espionage have long desired--and paid steeply for--on-site document destruction that they could witness themselves. However, now that the best mobile units are able to shred documents on-site at speeds of up to 6,000 pounds an hour, the increase in efficiency has finally outpaced the increase in pricing. That means that if you know where to turn, you can now have the best of both worlds.

Now that you can improve safety in the very same step as you can improve your bottom line, the choice has become an easy one. After all, why would you pay less for less security, when you can now pay less for more security? We encourage you to research these new technologies, and to do the right thing for the future of your business.
