They have been around for a number of years, different names.
Principal business is data storage, onece mainly paper,now digital as well. Shredding comes into play when the docs are no longer needed.
We use them to store our 5 to 7 year old financial records. First two years are kept on site(ours) and the others at IM.
After 7 years the tax dept says we can destroy them.
Companies that are public or in manufacturing may be required to keep docs longer.
