About Us

In 1994 Maxividro emerged in the glass sector and focused on distribution in the national market and in other geographic markets. Since the beginning, Maxividro aimed its efforts at markets with a high growth potential as Brazil, Cuba, Angola, Mozambique and also Cape Verde, turning the export market into a crucial area for its sustained growth.

Also during this same year, Maxividro acquired part of Vidromax; an industrial company specialized in processing flat glass. The evolution of both companies had shown that Maxividro had a dominant position inside Vidromax in 1998, the same year in which the production shifted onto double glazing, with a huge investment in a new transformation unit.

Nowadays, the holding company Activa, S.G.P.S. includes Maxividro, Vidromax and Maxividro Ibérica and works in transforming all glass categories for construction works. This business group has grown, driven by the solid synergy between Maxividro’s commercial experience and the deep technological know-how in the production area of Vidromax and internationalisation is the most recent answer to the market demand where it works.
