Our Story

Proven Experience A Reputation Built Through Over 65 Years of Service

BEST Shredding’s parent company BEST – For a cleaner world, was founded in 1956 by Ulf von Dehn. Ulf built his legacy by developing a unique corporate culture and world-class service. The company’s mission, vision, and core value commitments have led the BEST team to build on Ulf’s legacy and continue to provide the same high level of service.

Founded in 2009, BEST Shredding was a natural extension of BEST. The Shredding division provides on-site and off-site paper shredding, document storage, and media destruction services to customers throughout BC and Alberta.

Focusing on delivering secure, client-focused service that protects clients’ confidential information, BEST Shredding has provided service for over 30,000 clients in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Victoria, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas.
