Hermann Schwelling had two goals when he started his one-man business in 1971: Innovative expertise and quality. Ideals which have characterised his company HSM since the development of the first baling presses in 1972 and are the foundation for his success. HSM has grown step by step and developed into a worldwide company with a clear emphasis on Germany as the production location.

Functionality, design and quality of the paper shredder and baling press product ranges have made HSM a renowned, leading international manufacturer. And the proven strategy - success with "Made in Germany" quality - will continue to lead the company into a secure future.

The Binding Philosophy:

The customer is the focal point. HSM does not only want to be a provider of paper shredders and baling presses, but also be a reliable and responsible partner for customers. A partner reacting to the demands, wishes and expectations of customers. A partner developing solutions together with customers. The products are subjected to permanent quality control and produced in HSM's own factories according to binding quality principles.

The PRIMO paper shredders have been successfully on the market since the middle of the eighties and have convinced by quality »Made in Germany«, high-value design and well thought-out functionality for almost two decades.

These characteristics have their origin in a philosophy which is as simple as it is demanding: The purpose of PRIMO paper shredders is to facilitate everyday life in the office. And this can only be achieved when they are exposed again and again to the challenges of a modern office day. For this reason, PRIMO set a mark at the beginning of 1999: Under the name PRIMO »Top Secret «, PRIMO is presenting its paper shredder family with new design and optimised technology. Since then, the product range has been complemented consequently with 4 compact paper shredders for small offices to be used directly at the desk.

But no matter which PRIMO paper shredder model you select from the large product range – you always set your stakes on proven quality.

Quality which pays off.
