Texa opens new German location

On 10 October Texa president Bruno Vianello inaugurated the company’s new German branch in Obersulm, north of Stuttgart. Covering more than 3,000 square metres, the new location triples the dimensions of the old premises in Langenbrettach, which had been operational since 2002.

Exports are key to Texa’s ongoing success and currently equate to more than 80 per cent. And Germany represents the firm’s primary export destination in the Garage Equipment industry, with a turnover of approximately 26 million euros a year. Customers include independent workshops and vehicle manufacturers.

“I have always wanted my electronic diagnostic tools to have the Italian genius and style, combined with a German solidity and build quality. For this reason, over the years we have become certified based on the strictest German automotive regulations such as TISAX and VDA 6.3”, said Texa president Bruno Vianello, adding that the company’s sales OEMs are a growing part of the business: “This [certification] effort allowed us to gain credit with the most important German vehicle manufacturers, among which is the Volkswagen Group that is today one of our major customers. It was a large investment, but developing products in collaboration with German manufacturers allowed us to grow more and acquire important technology and know-how. Therefore I am very happy to be here to inaugurate Texa’s new German branch on its symbolic 18th anniversary.”

The new branch employs 45 people and acts as an operating base for promoting Texa’s electric powertrain solutions for top-of-the-range vehicles amongst German manufacturers. In fact, three years ago TEXA founded the E-Powertrain division, capable of developing an innovative axial electric motor that has already drawn the attention of large automobile groups.

In addition, the new site features more than 2,000 square metres of warehousing and spacious classrooms for the training of technicians and mechanics via the companies TEXAEdu unit.
“Today TEXA Germany”, said Werner Arpogaus, who has always headed the German branch, “follows over 25,000 customers, among which even large spare part associations. We gradually purchased the old building, but the spaces were no longer sufficient. This new site is strategic and allows us to further increase our business. We wanted to develop it following the standards of care for the employees that have made the Italian headquarters so famous.”

The new Texa Germany branch is Texa’s biggest. Other Texa branches include: Spain, France, Great Britain, Poland, Russia, United States, Brazil and Japan.
