If your customers need to
Shred it, Trim it, Sharpen it or Shear it, Dahle North
America, Inc. has the tool for you. For the past 73 years
Dahle has been a leading manufacturer of shredding and cutting
products for the home, office, government and art and craft
markets.
Dahle Bürotechnik GmbH of Coburg, Germany was first started in
1930 by Wilhelm Dahle as a producer of steel discs used for
pencil sharpeners. Dahle concentrated on pencil sharpeners
almost exclusively for thirty years and by the early 1960’s,
was the world leader in pencil sharpening and lead pointing
technology.
In an attempt to broaden in U.S. market,
Dahle North America was created as a subsidiary of Dahle
Bürotechnik GmbH. Located in Peterborough, New Hampshire,
Dahle NA sells to over 800 dealer accounts across the nation.
“We’re like a family at Dahle,” said Chris Jackson, Dahle NA’s
Marketing Manager. “With only 14 employees, we work very
closely with one another and it’s nice to know we can count on
each other and rely on them for help. The quality of our staff
and their ability to work as a team is what has helped us to
succeed for over 27 years,” Scott Prokop, VP and General
Manager of Dahle North America, Inc, added.
With the increasing concerns for
maintaining security both personally and professionally, Dahle
entered the shredder market in the late 1980’s. Dahle
currently offers over 40 models including strip cut, cross cut
and Department of Defense approved security models. Each
shredder features a solid steel cutting head milled from a
block of German Solingen steel. Having a solid head increases
the strength and durability of their shredders and greatly
prolongs their life span. Dahle also offers a one year
warranty* on materials and workmanship and a lifetime on the
cutting head. (*Excludes High Security Models.)
Reacting to current trends in the
industry has kept Dahle at the top of their game. “Because of
our close relationship with our German parent company, we have
the ability to react to market demands very quickly,” said
Prokop, “For example, when the NSA changed their requirements
for Top Secret data destruction, we were able to rise to the
challenge very quickly by being one of the first companies to
have a machine tested and approved by the NSA.”
Customer service is one of Dahle of North
America’s specialties. Dahle representatives conduct onsite
training seminars and support their dealers in marketing and
selling their product. “Since we only sell our products
through dealers, it’s important to focus on their needs and
assist their sales and marketing efforts any way we can. We
feel that this is a more personalized approach to doing
business and it’s that attention to detail that has made us
who we are today,” concluded Prokop.
Product literature can be obtained
directly through Dahle’s website. Within a couple of days you
can expect to receive a product catalog, retail pricing and
any other pertinent information relating to your request.
