History

• 1985-1995 - 1985 KOBRA began manufacturing paper shredders in Italy. First company to introduce "electronic eyes" technology for automatic start/stop. 
• 1995-2005 - Robust high precision gearbox is developed and patented by Elcoman. This unique system is the basis of Kobra products to this day. Reliability and long-lasting performance are the characteristics of this control system: the new Kobra series has been exported to 70 countries worldwide. In 1997, the production system was certified to the ISO 9000 standard.
• 2005-2010  - The US National Security Agency (NSA) and the US government set the strictest standards for the destruction of classified documents. A new Kobra HS-6 line was developed, approved by the NSA and included on their list of approved shredders. 
• 2010 to present - Developed touch-screen technology to control shredder functions. Elcoman once again finds itself on the cutting edge of the data security market through the development of the Kobra SSD disintegrator. It is a dedicated hard disk shredder that can shred smartphones, tablets, USB flash drives, electronic cards, CDs, DVDs.

 Arc's latest innovation is Hybrid Technology - Kobra's hybrid system uses the energy stored during the shredding cycle to improve efficiency and disconnect the machine from the electrical system. This saves up to 15% of otherwise used electrical energy.

What you should consider when choosing a shredder:

• The number of sheets you need to shred daily
• The privacy of your data
• The types of media to be shredded (paper, CDs, credit cards)
• How many people will use the shredder daily
• What is your budget    

Choose a shredder according to how the sheets will be shredded 

Strip-cut shredders - These shredders are suitable for shredding documents in a small office or for personal use.

Cross-cut shredders - Most suitable for offices and departments where there are medium security standards.

• Higher security
• Reduces shredded bulk (80% less than shredders cutting in strips)

High security shredders - US government and National Security Agency (NSA) approved shredders that can pulverize highly classified documents.

• Unattainable security
• Government/NSA Approved
• Overheating protection
• Energy saving mode
