The Hystory of Zivan

Over the last twenty years, Zivan have become experts in every kind of battery charging, monitoring and care. Zivan opened in 1985 as a branch of the Zapi group, a European leader in high frequency motor controllers for battery powered machines. Thanks to constant diligence and devoted research into the planning and the innovation of high technology devices, they have become a leader in this field, with a range of “switching” battery chargers that is the most complete and flexible on the market.
Since 1983, when the Patent “Zanichelli-Righi” of the first high frequency controlled battery charger was registered, Zivan has reached high levels of quality and reliability recognized and rewarded with a worldwide success which is constantly rising.
Every Zivan product is planned inside the Company.This guarantees efficiency, safety, flexibility, in other words, the complete Quality (UNI EN ISO 9001:2000). The Customer list contains many of the world’s major manufacturers of electric vehicles, for which we provide a service of planning and advice to satisfy all of their requirements:
