LALIZAS and ATIVA NÁUTICA: United for Safety at Sea in Brazil

Share:

After the acquisition of LALIZAS/ALEXANDER in 2018, REVERE SURVIVAL in 2024 and the launch of LALIZAS Canada in 2025, the company now announces the acquisition of Brazilian lifejacket manufacture ATIVA NÁUTICA.

LALIZAS holds great respect for small businesses that have grown into successful organisations, as it also began with manufacturing in a small house in Piraeus, Greece, with just 3 employees.

Fort Ativa, partnering with LALIZAS means not only aligning with shared values and principles, but also joining forces with a Group known for elevating businesses while honouring their legacy.

Ativa is like my third child,” said Marta Lara. “Knowing that LALIZAS will care for it, grow it, and respect its legacy gives me peace of mind.”

A path of constant growth

Lalizas has a strong record of accomplishment in this area, beginning with the acquisition of Italian companies in 2012 (Lofrans’, MAX POWER, Nuova Rade, and OCEAN Fenders), as well as ARIMAR in 2019, each with its own distinct character.

“This acquisition is a testament to Lalizas’ global strength – not just as a manufacturer of safety equipment, but as a trusted partner known for empowering companies, transforming them into even more successful and profitable businesses, while always respecting their roots and people,” Stavros Lalizas, Founder & CEO of Lalizas commented.

Ativa through the years
Founded in 1998 by Marta Lara and Roberto Sampaio in Campinas, São Paulo, Ativa began as a small venture in a 250 sq.m space with just 3 employees. Through their commitment and dedication, alongside with their niece and partner Julia Ramalho, Ativa became a relevant name in lifesaving equipment. Today, the team has grown to 200 members, and Julia will continue her journey with LALIZAS to uphold Ativa’s culture and values.
