For over 20 years, Ativa has been the leading name in security and technology solutions for home and business. Our wide range of products, from shredders to cables, headphones, and more, are designed to protect your privacy, connect your devices, and enhance productivity. At Ativa, we believe that innovation, quality, and value should go hand-in-hand.
Our Story
The Ativa journey began in 1998, when our founders saw a need for affordable and reliable technology that could help safeguard sensitive information. Identity theft and data breaches were on the rise, and people needed an easy way to destroy confidential documents at home or the office.
The first Ativa product was a personal shredder for home use. This shredder provided powerful cutting force in a compact size at a price far below competitors. Word spread quickly about this little shredder that could securely destroy credit card statements, medical records, and more.
Buoyed by the success of our debut shredder, Ativa expanded into new realms like cables, computer accessories, and electronics. But data security remains central to our mission, and shredders continue to be a core part of our product lineup.
Over the years, Ativa has pioneered many innovations that are now industry standard. We were the first to introduce cross-cut shredders for extra security as well as super micro-cut shredders that turn paper into confetti. Ativa shredders have continuously set the bar for reliability, power, and cutting edge design.
Beyond shredders, Ativa has become a one-stop shop for technology accessories. Our cables, networking tools, and computer products keep devices connected and productive. And our headphones, speakers, and surge protectors enhance entertainment and safeguard electronics.
No matter the product, Ativa adheres to strict standards for quality assurance. We meticulously test and inspect every item multiple times throughout the design and manufacturing process. By the time a product reaches our customer, it has been subjected to rigorous trials under real-world conditions. This commitment to quality has earned Ativa a reputation for exceptional reliability across our product lines.
