Welcome to HSM

HSM – A Story of Success

When Hermann Schwelling founded his one-man company in 1971, he had two ideals written large: innovation and quality. These virtues, which have characterised HSM since it developed its first baling presses in 1972, are the foundations for its success.
Over the years, HSM has gradually grown and has become a company which is active around the world , but which still stays true to its German roots.

On the following pages you can find information and facts about HSM, where we come from, who we are and where we want to go!

Your Security Will Not be Compromised!

HSM Enhances Your Security Without Increasing Labor Costs. By using HSM quality brand products, you can now shred in-house versus using a 3rd-party shred service. There is very little overhead. In fact, shredding in-house can lower your cost by 20-40% in the first year. Users can place documents in the feed opening and let it rip. With sheet capacities from 18-650 sheets per pass, protecting information has never been easier.

HSM Maintains Care, Custody and Control. Besides being cost effective, keeping your documents from a 3rd-party shredding company will keep you from compromising your security. We have shredders for every need: from paper to digital hard drive decommissioning. Let our full-cycle solution keep your company safe from security breaches.

HSM Improves Efficiency with Lower Power Consumption. Don’t judge a machine by its cuts size. From our largest to smallest cut size, our shredders use less power. Strip cut shredders use force only where it is needed due to sophisticated technology which retains friction during the cutting process. Cross cut shredders have a powerful drive equipped with a scraper system which prevents cut paper from sticking and causing blockage. This means a quieter, smoother running machine. Our Securio line displays the highest quality in document destruction with features such as EMCS (Energy Management Control System) and a pleasantly quiet operating sound.

Our HSM Brands are Quality Products Produced in Germany and are Fully TAA Compliant. From security level 1 to Government High Security level 6, all cutting heads are forged out of two laser-cut solid steel cylinders which are backed by 170 international patents. If you have been disappointed with performance in low-end shredders in the past, you will be satisfied with the quality and integrity of the products offered by HSM.

HSM Products are Backed by the Longest Warranty in the Industry. This includes our “Up to a Lifetime Warranty” on all cutting heads. We also offer extended service contracts that include on-site service.

Again, Your Security Will Not be Compromised!
