Protecting the Privacy and Security of People and Business Around the World since 1956

intimus International Group is an international company headquartered in Markdorf, Lake of Constance, Germany, with regional offices in 10 countries around the world. Founded in 1956 as Schleicher, the intimus brand was born in 1965 with the introduction of the intimus Simplex, our first office shredder.

intimus has never stopped innovating in the years since then, revolutionizing the data security market with the invention of cross-cut paper shredding technology in 1985, the first industrial and media shredding solutions in 1990, the introduction of revolutionary cash deposit systems in 2014 that changed the way the retail and gaming sectors securely manage cash, and the launch of the FlashEx in 2016, the first system to safely move the destruction of electronic media out of industrial disposal centers and into an office environment.

We now employ more than 280 people and have a presence in more than 180 countries around the world because we understand the need to continually push the data security industry forward, ensuring that our clients and their data remain secure and uncompromised. We offer comprehensive solutions throughout the value chain, starting from innovation, through development, manufacturing, and sales, and then continuing to provide support with post-sales services.
