The Largest Independent Information Management Company in California

We started as Coronado Warehouse and Supply in Coronado, California, setting the foundation for what would become Corodata Records Management, Inc.

Initially, we moved from Coronado to Lemon Grove, where we provided moving and warehousing services to San Diego households and to Military Families.

Richard T. (Dick) Schmitz took the helm, steering the company toward growth and expanding its client base to include corporate clients alongside traditional household moving services. Later, Dick’s sons acquired the business and shifted its focus to business services. As a result, the company transitioned exclusively to B2B corporate services, eventually discontinuing household moving services.

The company has been in the records management industry for many years. As we experienced tremendous growth, driven by our commitment to security and customer satisfaction, we established ourselves as a separate entity from Corovan Moving and Storage, further solidifying our focus on specializing in records management.

The company rebranded as Corodata Records Management, further establishing itself as a distinct business to enhance focus and drive growth. Additional services, such as media storage and data protection, were developed.

We introduced our first shred truck, expanding our capabilities to include secure document shredding. Since then, we have grown to operate one of the largest fleets of mobile shredding trucks in the industry. To better serve our clients’ data-focused needs, our comprehensive range of core services now includes records storage, file indexing, pickup and delivery, digital media storage and protection, imaging, and secure document destruction.

In response to our clients’ evolving needs, we began shredding hard drives and launched the Corodata Client Portal, enabling clients to seamlessly manage their records and services online.

Today, Corodata is proud to be the largest independent records management firm in California and one of the five largest in the nation. As a recognized industry leader, we hold numerous prestigious certifications, including SSAE 18, SOC 1 and SOC 2, NAID AAA, and PRISM Privacy+. With over 14,000 clients and 9 million records housed in our centers across Northern California (Pt. Richmond and San Jose), Corona (serving Los Angeles and Orange County), and Poway/Escondido (serving San Diego and the Inland Empire), we are committed to providing exceptional service. Additionally, our shredding operation processes over 1,000 tons of paper each month, further underscoring our dedication to meeting the diverse needs of the regions we serve.
