BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Office Depot (NYSE: ODP), celebrating 25 years as a leading global provider of office supplies and services, today announced a new lineup of Ativa® professional grade shredders available at nationwide retail store locations and online at www.officedepot.com.
Identity theft continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of consumer fraud in North America. In fact, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), identity theft affects as many as 10 million Americans (including small businesses) each year.
The Ativa line of Professional Grade Shredders are designed and rigorously tested to industry leading specifications and are perfect for shredding personal, company and client information safely and securely. With innovative features such as an “overheat meter” that will help prevent against damage due to overuse, and a “Jam Alert” auto reverse system to help prevent against blockages that will slow down shredding production, these professional grade shredders will help small businesses remain safe and productive throughout the normal course of business.
“Proper destruction of confidential documents is absolutely critical to businesses of all sizes these days, and the new line of Ativa Professional Grade Shredders will help our small business customers quickly and efficiently shred papers, CDs, credit cards, and more,” said Steve Mahurin, Executive Vice President of Merchandising for Office Depot.
The lineup of Ativa professional grade shredders includes the following products:
