VRC Acquires Proshred Security to Strengthen Information Governance Leadership

In a strategic move to enhance its position in the information governance market, VRC Companies, LLC, a leading provider of information governance services, has announced its acquisition of Redishred Capital, also known as Proshred Security. This acquisition, officially announced on February 10, 2025, is set to expand VRC’s national footprint, particularly in document shredding and asset disposition, thereby enhancing its service delivery across multiple key regions.

Proshred Security has been a mainstay in the document shredding industry for over 20 years, catering to a diverse clientele with a strong focus on customer service. Known for its commitment to secure document disposal and IT asset disposition, Proshred has built a robust reputation that resonates well with businesses across various sectors, including government entities. With locations in major cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, New York, and Miami, the acquisition promises to significantly bolster VRC’s operational capacity and service range in these existing markets.

Danny Palo, CEO of VRC, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, saying, "We are excited for the Proshred team, including the excellent leadership team, and customers to join with VRC. This acquisition will further solidify VRC's leadership position as a national leader in information governance solutions. Over the past five-plus years, we have been broadening our product suite, and now Proshred's customers can benefit from our comprehensive solutions without compromising service quality."

VRC offers a full suite of information management services, which includes records management, document shredding, electronic content management, and IT asset disposal/recycling. Currently, VRC caters to over 30,000 customers across the nation, touching both small and medium businesses as well as large enterprises. The integration of Proshred Security into its operations will enable VRC to provide a more robust service offering, tailored to meet the evolving needs of its client base.

According to Palo, today's clients are leaning towards integrated solutions that streamline information management from creation to disposition. "Clients want ease of access and comprehensive control over their information assets, which makes our combined service offerings particularly attractive," he stated. This merger not only enhances the value proposition of both companies but also provides clients with a holistic approach to managing their information assets through a single, trusted provider.

The strategic acquisition aligns with VRC's ongoing commitment to investing in the information governance space. With substantial backing from its private equity sponsor, Windjammer Capital, VRC has made significant strides toward building its national presence in this field, driving growth organically within digital document management and related services.
