Since 1963, Cresswood has been a leading manufacturer of industrial machinery. Founded initially as Dun-Rite Tool and Machine by Ronald Cress, the company changed direction in 1979 to produce combustion recycling equipment and then realized the need for industrial slow-speed, single-shaft grinders and shredders in the recycling industry. This was the start of Cresswood Shredding Machinery, and they have been setting the standard for shredding solutions ever since.

Today, Cresswood manufactures industry-leading shredders and grinders to reduce plastic, wood, and paper for recycling. Their custom-engineered solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of your application, to help you achieve your sustainability and recycling goals.
