There are few paper shredders in the world that can rip an A4 piece of paper into 2,000 pieces, and come with functions like SilentShred, SafeSense, and “100% Jam Proofâ€

It introduced its patented line of paper shredders in 1982, and in an attempt to cut costs it was an early entrant to the China manufacturing scene.

Greed = cost cutting in corporate lingo. He took those jobs and our technology to China out of greed, seems to me it's come full circle now. And as a hard working American spender I refuse to buy anything labeled "made in China", now I'll be looking for "Fellowes" too. Won't be supporting this guys new enterprise!

This sounds reminiscent of the notorious case of the theft of the Barcelona Traction Light and Power Corporation by the Spanish smuggler turned banker industrialist Juan March.
