Safety, function, ergonomics and performance are a priority in the newly designed Ativa shredder family. The increase in demand for better shredding products has been brought on by the increase in identity theft, fraud and need for personal and business privacy protection. The growing home use has also introduced new concerns especially when children and pets are present.

The new Ativa shredders are designed to ease those concerns. The design includes details that highlight the "touch stop safety", which is located at the paper feed entry point of the shredder. The controls and warnings are laid out in a clear concise manner allowing for ease of use. These parameters are consistent throughout the entire line of shredders. Whether using a desktop shredder or upgrading to a heavy duty office shredder the user will instantly recognize control layout, warning logos and operating procedures.

This next generation of innovative shredders is encased in a design that expresses the new level of awareness in home and office shredding products.
