In 1970, in Kuchl, near Salzburg, Anton Unterwurzacher lays the foundation for the company which is now known all over the world for reliable shredding technology. It all began when Christian Hasenbichler, a grocer, was looking for some way to dispose of his wooden and cardboard boxes. The rest is history. The registered trademark UNTHA owes its origins to the surnames of these two gentlemen, Mr UNTerwurzacher and Mr HAsenbichler.

With subsidiaries in various countries and a global distribution network, the company’s products and services are in demand far beyond the national borders. More than 300 employees around the world ensure that the highest quality and customer-orientated service is guaranteed at all times. Throughout the entire product life cycle, reliability always comes first. Having celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020, UNTHA can already look back on a successful half century – whilst looking towards the future with ever greater confidence.
