AWARDS

TEXA has received many prestigious international awards over the years, in recognition of the company’s uniquely innovative character.

In the 1990s, the Axone 2000 won a GIPA award from Groupement Inter Professionnel de l’Automobile, the prestigious association of automotive professionals.

In 2006 and again in 2007, TEXA won the coveted Frost & Sullivan award for innovation, in Nice. The press release stated: "The award recognises TEXA’s superiority over its competitors and its capacity to implement new technologies. The AXONE Palmtop and AXONE Pad, which both use the innovative Google Search Appliance, are concrete examples of this. This recognition is the result of TEXA’s ability to make significant steps forward in product development and to stay well ahead of the competition”. In November 2008, TEXA’s CEO, Bruno Vianello, was named as a finalist in the Innovation section of the prestigious Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year” awards.

In 2009, TEXA won three awards: one by the GIPA, for the TEXAEDU social project in the “Knowledge diffusion” category; one by Unioncamere, the Prize for Economic Development in the Veneto Region; and one in Paris, where the company won the Gold Trophy at the Grand Prix Internationaux de l’Innovation Automobile for its OBD Log.

In 2010, the company received the Innovation Award at Automechanika Frankfurt for its OBD MATRIX tool, handed over directly by the German Minister for Transport.

 In 2011, TEXA won the “Galeria de Innovacion” award in Madrid. On the 14th June of the same year, Bruno Vianello was presented with the coveted National Innovation Prize on behalf of TEXA by the President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano, at the Quirinale Presidential Palace.


At the 2013 Autopromotec Exhibition in Bologna, TEXA’s CEO Bruno Vianello was presented with the famous “Premio della Stampa” press award by a jury of specialist journalists. This award is given to Italian businessmen who achieve distinction “for their achievements and for their continuing commitment to and belief in the cultural wealth of their native region”.

2013 ended with reception of the international "Golden Key" award for equipment manufacturers and suppliers to vehicle workshops in the Russian Federation.

In 2014 TEXA swept awards on an International level:

it was awarded the 1st prize in two of the seven categories of the prestigious Innovation Award at Automechanika Frankfurt.
It also won the Automotive Innovation Award in Ireland, the German Beste Profi Werkstatt-Marke and the “Golden Wrench” award at the MIMS Fair in Moscow.

In 2015, TEXA was classed by the MIT Technology Review (Italian edition) as one of the ten most “disruptive” Italian companies. The scientific committee chose TEXA “among the companies that have recently created something innovative in their industry, so much so that they can challenge the leadership of other companies, strengthen their position on the market or even create a new one. To the point of deserving the title of “disruptive”, in other words: extremely groundbreaking”.

In 2016, TEXA won the Frost & Sullivan’s “European Commercial Vehicle Diagnostics Customer Value Leadership Award” for the innovative solutions, developed in the industry of multi-brand diagnosis, dedicated to the world of trucks and light commercial vehicles.

In 2018 and 2019, the company was also awarded in the United States, more specifically in Las Vegas, with the PTEN award for the products AXONE Nemo and eTRUCK. A very prestigious double achievement that confirms TEXA’s commitment even in a wide and competitive market such as the North American one.
