Tri-C Machine was started in 1969 by Clyde Lamar.  In 1979 he saw the need for corrugated pipe flangers and tire shredders.  He built the first tire shredder in late 1979- finishing it in 1980, and formed Tri-C Manufacturing, Inc..  Since then he has developed a granulator, wheel crusher, de-beader, and classifier --  all originally designed for shredder-w-classifiertires.
