About Us -We invented or originated many major shear shredder brands

This is a brief history of the Burda Family and how they have made a small idea into a Billion Dollar Industry making recycling equipment....

Below is one of the first surviving pictures of my father, Vern Burda and my sister, Sue Burda who show in a whimsical way a before shredding and after shredding shot...

It was in 1971 when the recycling industry had not leaders in the equipment field ...just small families that had visions to bring recycling equipment into the main stream...

The Burda Family, the Newell Family, the Eidal Family, the Kasmerick Family, and the Panning Family, were all early pioneers in the field of recycling equipment shredders... 

Our Burda Family financed and pioneered the Saturn, the SSI and the Eidal Shredder lines...and do get the privilege of being in the front of the pack...before it exploded onto a global scale...

In the 1960's not many people understood recycling nor the concept of recycling.....or the green movement....or earth day....or global warming...or overpopulation...

This is the first 16" and 21" shaft center shear type shredders made in the world, circa 1977 with Dan Burda in the background. The Models were the 52-40 and the 96-50....super large machines for this time period...

Today you can't begin any recycling venture without shredders or balers...and we take pride that we are a pioneering shredder family....

Others that claim this type of fame, should make sure that they know their history....

And who came first......
