Captiva

Captiva is a German computer brand operated by CAPTIVA GmbH in Dachau, Bavaria. The company says it was founded in 1995, beginning with graphics cards sold under the Captiva label. Since 2007, it has built complete desktop PCs and notebooks to order. Its production team works at the company headquarters in Dachau, where customers can specify systems for gaming, business and home use. Captiva is part of the German ECOM group. ECOM's corporate history traces the group to 1992 and lists CAPTIVA among its subsidiaries and own brands. The parent company describes a network of around 180 employees, multiple German sites and an international branch, placing Captiva inside an established regional computer distribution business.

Custom desktop computers

Captiva builds complete computers to fit selected component and performance requirements. Its official range includes desktop PCs for gaming, office work and business use. Customers can use the Captiva configurator to select a system and create a tailored specification. Gaming models are presented alongside mainstream configurations, with options for processors, graphics, memory, storage and operating systems. The build to order approach connects the brand's early component sales history with its current finished systems. The company also supplies devices through specialist retailers and online platforms. ECOM corporate history names well known retail channels including MediaMarkt and Saturn, Amazon, Otto and Digitec Galaxus.

Notebooks for gaming and work

Captiva sells notebooks for gaming as well as business and office use. Official product pages present portable systems with current processors, graphics, display sizes, memory and solid state storage. The company positions notebooks as configurable machines rather than a single fixed model family. Its catalogue also includes compact computers and NUC systems through the PC and notebook configurator. Technical information, manuals and downloads are available through the product pages, with service contacts provided by CAPTIVA GmbH. These features support customers selecting and maintaining a computer for mobile work, gaming or everyday tasks.

German production and company history

The Captiva name has been used for computer products since 1995. The company introduced build to order complete PCs and notebooks in 2007 and continues to assemble and test products in its Dachau production operation. Its legal imprint gives Siemensstrasse 9, 85221 Dachau as the company address and identifies CAPTIVA GmbH in the Munich commercial register. The ECOM group is headquartered in the greater Munich area and presents Captiva as one of its companies. This German operating base, long product history and relationship to a larger IT distribution group make Captiva an established supplier of configurable PCs and notebooks for the German market.
