ABOUT US
Industrial Shredders come in all shapes and sizes. Why are ALLEGHENY SHREDDERS considered the best in the world?
Over 50 years ago, Allegheny founder JOHN WAGNER began breaking the barrier, building an industrial shredder to out-perform a powerful 7.5 horsepower shredder already on the market. In 1971, he went one step further and introduced the first heavy duty industrial shredder in the industry—a 15 horsepower beast! This trend continued into the present day, as Allegheny now manufacturers 300 HP industrial shredders and shredding systems
Mr. Wagner not only built higher-horsepower industrial shredders than anyone, he also improved the cutting assembly to make them as efficient as possible. Allegheny began using the original Saw-tooth cutter, read more

What our clients say about us
Jason Radtke
Royal Paper Stock – Customer since 1994
The people and equipment at Allegheny Shredders are the best in the business! We have bought several different shredders from them and have never been disappointed. We run our equipment hard.
On the rare occasions we have had a machine go down that we could not easily fix, their service crew was extremely responsive. Allegheny machines are durable, well-built and the best equipment for any shredding application!
Tim Oberst
Ohio Mobile Shredding – Customer since 1988
The most caring company I have ever known, that always has its customers best interests first. Always striving to do more and constantly innovating new systems and equipment for the secure destruction industry.
Has earned my loyalty for over the past thirty years. Treats every customer like family. A tradition passed down by its founder and practiced by all. You want to do business with Allegheny.

Allegheny overbuilds its equipment. It’s solidly built and extremely durable. Manufacturers typically overestimate what their equipment can do – but Allegheny’s equipment does exactly what it promises, and often over-performs.
Fred Self
Unishred
I wouldn’t buy any equipment except Allegheny equipment. In the three shredding businesses I’ve managed, Allegheny has offered solid machinery, a solid warranty, and the Platinum Standard in customer service. Reliability, Durability and Service are what we paid for and what we expect – and Allegheny has come out shining on all three. When it comes to document destruction, I just wouldn’t deal with anyone else.

Allegheny’s success begins with its people. They’re extremely ethical, knowledgeable, and helpful in many ways far beyond providing great equipment.
Renee Keener

Allegheny’s equipment is in a class all its own, and their highly responsive sales and service departments go the extra mile. I feel very fortunate to work with Allegheny – they’ve played a key role in my success.
