Kalamazoo, MI — “Innovation has long been a guiding principle of Inter-Source,” explained President William Nemedi, upon receiving the 2007 Business Review Western Michigan Innovation Award.  “Our customers appreciate how our innovations result in ever-increasing ROI for them.  It is great to receive cross-industry recognition for it as well.”

Nemedi was recently honored for his design of a small shredder.  The compact shredder promotes the proper handling and processing of saturated machining waste by sizing it for optimal transport and maximum fluid recovery.  The shredder’s size makes it not only more economical for manufacturers to be eco-friendly, but the unit may be more easily integrated in the often space-constrained manufacturing environment.

Innovation is a way of life for chip management industry leader Inter-Source.  The compact shredder is one of nearly two dozen patents held by Inter-Source principals for advancements in all phases of chip management.  Inter-Source is a leader in the engineering and manufacture of equipment and systems that efficiently handle–from tool to trailer–all by-products of precision machining.
