Somos uma das maiores distribuidoras de resinas termoplásticas do país, com atuação nacional e presença em 6 estados. Entregamos, em todo o Brasil, produtos e soluções financeira e socialmente sustentáveis para clientes que buscam se relacionar com uma marca humana, tecnológica e conectada com o futuro. Desde o início, a activas teve sua identidade marcada pelas características do material que distribui: o plástico. Criada em 1990 em São Paulo, moldou-se ao mercado e expandiu suas atividades por meio da construção de unidades em Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro e Pernambuco. A transparência e a leveza sempre foram importantes para a activas, assim a empresa passou a oferecer resinas sustentáveis e atualizou sua frota, com veículos preparados para a utilização do biodiesel. Atualmente, a activas é líder de mercado em seu segmento e uma das empresas mais engajadas em iniciativas socioeducativas.
