Kobra 390 for Shredding Professionals

Armed with a truck with a multimedia shredder inside, Dianna Forsythe, takes her shredding seriously. She takes to the streets of Palm Springs, CA, selling her shredding service. Her goal is to prevent identity theft.

"I'm a background screened notary," Forsythe explains. "I've always been aware of the need of people's security."

She uses a Kobra 390 multimedia shredder, one that is used specifically for big jobs.

"It takes paper faster than I can feed it," Forsythe says.

Forsythe knows her shredders. "I wanted a one with a continuous duty motor that cross-cuts multimedia," she says. "With a continuous duty motor, you don't have to stop it to let it cool down; with cross cutting people can't paste the documents back together and with a multimedia shredder, you can shred plastic items like credit cards.

Her business is picking up. "Identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the United States," Forsythe says. "Any person or business that receives mail should be shredding."
