"Targus and mobile technology have certainly come a long way in the past 25 years. The company was founded the same year that the internet was created, Microsoft Word was released, and the first mobile phones were introduced to the market, with the understanding that digital life on-the-go was a thing of the very near future," stated Michael Hoopis, CEO of Targus. "I am very proud to see Targus continuing to deliver solutions that compliment the technological advances being made today. We look forward to delivering even greater, more in-tune solutions to meet our customers' mobile life style needs for years to come."
Over the past 25 years, Targus has built a reputation for providing high-quality, best-of-breed solutions such as its patented SafePort® Air Cushion System, which protects the laptop from drops as well as its patented Dome Protection SystemTM, which prevents damage to the laptop screen while traveling.
Targus has also made its mark with pioneering initiatives such as its company-wide commitment to being an environmentally conscious company, which includes the development of the Grove eco-friendly laptop cases and joining Dell's "Plant a Tree for Me" program, designed to help offset the CO2 emissions related to the use of computer equipment. Its ground-breaking attempt to help travelers speed through airport security with its soon-to-be released checkpoint-friendly laptop cases is one of the many examples of how Targus is taking life on-the-go to the next level and continuing to provide mobile users with forward-thinking, next-generation solutions.
