Security Engineered Machinery and Garner Products Announce Strategic Merger

The collaboration creates a unified entity with expanded engineering and support hubs on both the East and West coasts. By combining their portfolios, the companies now offer a comprehensive suite of tools, ranging from magnetic degaussers and industrial-grade shredders to advanced disintegrators for both digital and analog media. The move aims to streamline supply chains for federal agencies, hyperscalers, and financial institutions that require strictly regulated end-of-life data solutions.

A central feature of the expanded catalog is the integration of Garner’s DiskMantler. The system, which utilizes controlled shock and harmonics to disassemble hard drives and recover rare earth materials, will now be available across all combined sales channels. Andrew Kelleher, CEO of SEM, noted that the partnership serves as a strategic step to accelerate growth while meeting the evolving needs of clients handling sensitive information. Both firms maintain products on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List, ensuring the combined company remains a primary supplier for high-security environments.
