Iron Mountain
 

I just got a GM of Canada update on the decommissioning of the Oshawa Truck plant. In it is mention of sending 600 banker boxes of records to Iron Mountain, the keepers of GM Corporate records. Would the GM US old car records be there too? Just a thought. Never heard of this company myself.

I think that Iron Mountain is a paper shredding company?

Edit...it looks like they do shred papaer...but also do digital backup, archiving and data storage as well...

My bad!

The article described Iron Mountain as the "keepers of GM corporate records. If they are a shredding company, it sure might explain why you have no records of the old cars in the US. I hope this is not the case. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif I just did a Google search. You may be right although they store stuff too.

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.
