Quiet, on purpose.
Striven Industries has been at this since 2006. A handful of brands run under this name. We'd rather they be known than us.
There isn't much of a story on this page, and that's deliberate. The companies do the talking.
Striven Industries is the ownership and infrastructure behind a family of businesses in air filtration, hardware, consumer goods, and a few things you wouldn't expect. Each brand carries its own name, its own team, its own customers. Some have been around long enough that you may have bought from one without ever seeing this name.
How we operate
We are operators, not investors. Every company is run day to day by people accountable to it, and Striven's job is to carry the weight that makes small businesses miserable to run — systems, purchasing, fulfillment infrastructure, and the administration nobody starts a business hoping to do.
No fund behind us, no clock running — which mostly means we get to think in decades. We'd sooner keep ten years of goodwill than trade it for a good quarter.
Where we are
A PO box, officially. The day-to-day is warehouses, purchasing, and phones that get answered.
The parts that don't change.

People
Answer the phone
Every one of our companies has a real person on the other end of it. It is the most old-fashioned thing about us and the one we're least willing to give up.
-
Supply
Keep our word
Suppliers get paid on terms and buyers get what was quoted. Boring, and the reason relationships here tend to be measured in years rather than orders.

Growth
Only what we can run
We add a company when we understand the work well enough to do it properly, not when the market looks attractive. It's why the list stays short.
Suppliers and partners.
We buy across all of them and we're always interested in manufacturers and distributors who can hold quality and lead times. If that's you, we'd like to hear from you.
