Garb-Oil & Power Corporation (Garb) was founded in 1972 by John C. Brewer. The company is a pioneer in the recycling industry and waste industry. John C. Brewer invented, patented and produced the first shredder in the world designed specifically for shredding tires. This shredder revolutionized the waste tire world. Despite a general lack of interest in the beginning toward this technology from the recycling market, this patented shredder became a key inspiration for the design and innovation of a variety of shredding machines that followed.
John C. Brewer continued his efforts in the recycling industry and his commitment to the technology led him to another world first. In 1995 he patented the first OTR (Off the Road) Tire Processor; this innovation inspired a variety of designs aimed at handling the large massive tires produced for the mining and construction industry. Garb’s OTR patent is one of the company's benchmark patents still in force today and it is one of the key machines of the Garb technology foundation.
This tradition for innovation, now stemming over 37 years, is a key founding principle upon which Garb thrives. Garb continues to infuse this same tradition of enthusiasm and innovation into its operations and the founder’s trademark commitment to breaking new ground will carry on into the future.
