Born from the 1992 invention of the original 6P shredder, Miamisburg’s Barclay Roto-Shred builds tire-recycling machinery that cleanly cuts high volumes of scrap tires into usable strips and chips. The family-run business, led by the Beihns since 2023, carries that mechanical legacy into modern recycling systems while also rebuilding used Barclay machines to extend their working life. Its equipment is engineered for straightforward maintenance, with some Barclay machines remaining in service after more than a decade of extreme use.
