ABOUT US

Enabling mobile workers to perform at their best

OUR MISSION

Our Mission: Ignite the Potential of Dreamers, Doers, and Leaders 

Through the ever-evolving landscape of tech, Targus is here to help you carry, protect, and connect. Designed to help do more with your device, Targus seamlessly integrates tech into your life to provide you with everything you need to live, dream, and do.

Our approach is driven by insight data, global reach, responsible business, and commitment to quality, ensuring that we have the skills and experience to meet your performance, style, and protection needs. From individuals to large enterprises, we’re here to help you get more done.

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

Targus has been creating purposeful solutions for 40 years, providing you with the tools you need to succeed, and the freedom to do it from anywhere. Our mission drives us, our passion fuels us, and our customers make us everyday, inspired.

QUALITY  

Shop with confidence at Targus. With a limited lifetime warranty on all laptop bags and tablet cases, and industry leading warranties on tech, we’re committed to quality products that last.

INNOVATION

Technology is our everyday, driving every new product we make. As creators and innovators in the tech space for 4 decades, we’ve picked up a thing or two about what makes an impact.

With 83 patents issued and 79 pending, we are always looking for new ways to empower our customers. Sustainability is now at the forefront of our business, inspiring us to imaging new ways of living and new opportunities to create products for the better.

PROTECTION

Protection is at the heart of everything we do. From protecting you tech with military-grade drop testing, to protecting the planet with our Eco Smart collection and sustainability goals. Since creating our first laptop bag back in 1983, Targus has been synonymous with device protection. As technology has evolved, we’ve innovated in laptop backpacks, messenger bags, tablet cases, and now into docks, hubs, and accessories. Our tech takes protection as seriously as our carry range, with additional internal network security for Ethernet-connected docks, giving you peace of mind.

SUSTAINABILITY

Targus is on a sustainability journey. We’re taking responsibility and pushing for meaningful change, both by the products we produce and the way we run our business. Through our alignment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, our evolving roadmap, and our partnerships, we are unrelentingly committed to continuous improvement in this space.

2023 marks the release of our first ever Sustainability Report, an opportunity to tell our sustainability story and lay the path for the road ahead.
