Now integrated within Heico’s extensive network, CM Shredders benefits from being part of over 70 operating entities employing more than 9,000 professionals across five continents and 19 countries, alongside its highly regarded sister company, Shred-Tech.

This strategic alignment enables CM Shredders to deliver innovative, comprehensive tire recycling solutions and unparalleled customer support worldwide.
