What are Teca's main strengths?

Teca's strengths can be summed up in six key words: inimitability, expertise, internal production, reliability, experience and stability.
In it's field, Teca has acquired over the years all the necessary expertise required to bring unique, highly technical and specialist products to market which are the result of years of investment in research. Through it's own in-house production, Teca controls the entire manufacturing cycle in a state-of-the-art facility thereby assuring absolute quality standards and product reliability. The experience acquired in 20 years of solid, professional activity gives Teca a solid, well-established position in its benchmark market. This bears witness to the supreme values that the company proudly works to achieve every day.

How does Teca assure its manufacturing quality system?

By achieving specific quality standards, TECA was awarded ISO 9001 certification in 1999 for the design and production of fitness equipment. TECA was the first Italian company in this field to receive such an important award. Nowadays, the development and implementation of a quality management system was an essential requirement for one of the top manufacturers in the world of fitness equipment, as it certifies the company's ability to uphold strategic objectives. Working within such a quality system enables Teca to offer not only a more effective, efficient service but also a highly specialist product. This is possible due to the stringent controls to meet quality certification standards imposed at each step of the production process. Following this key award, in 2004 the company also achieved 14001 certification confirming our manufacturing system's ability to work both to specified quality standards and in respect of the environment. ISO 14001 certification, awarded by an independently accredited body, proves just how seriously Teca is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its processes, products and services as well as the reliability of the environmental management system it has implemented.

What does innovation mean for Teca?

For Teca, innovation is first and foremost the ability to use its continuing research to invent, design and develop products that will produce real and unquestionable results. The Switching range is a fine example of this: it's the first and only system of isotonic machines to be used in the standing position, a truly groundbreaking phenomenon in the fitness world in both technical terms and more importantly also because it is capable of engendering a positive change in how people see exercise, thereby attracting more of them into fitness clubs. Indeed, the Switching system has revolutionized the way people think about their fitness club workouts due to the fact that the movements reflect those required in everyday life making the resultant workout faster, more complete and within the possibility of anyone willing to give it a try. In this regard, with Switching, regular 30 minute-workouts are all it takes to see outstanding results in terms of muscle tone, strength and the amount of calories burnt. Switching is the innovation that has opened the door to the fitness world for everyone. It is a valuable and essential ally for club managers, putting them in a position to generate fast returns on their investment.

What effect have 20 years of experience had on the Teca product?

With its unique products, ongoing research and advanced technology, Teca has been an indisputable frontrunner in the fitness world for 20 years now and is currently a benchmark manufacturer for all fitness industry professionals. These 20 years of experience are evident in Teca's fitness machines, built to meet the real needs of club managers and take their suggestions on board. This successful synergy has resulted in unique machines which guarantee non-stop performance over the years with little or no maintenance whatsoever. What's more, they also add to the club's exclusivity. More than a finishing line, these twenty years of success and market activity represent a highly motivating starting point for the company. Even though the experience built up over the years has led to a product that is widely acknowledged as being of a superior standard and technically perfect, Teca does not consider this to be the end of the road. The company is gradually switching its focus from a product-centered (the product now considered to have reached biomechanical perfection) to a customer-centered approach. The needs of our customers are the new starting point in our aim to offer specific, high quality products and services on a daily basis .

What do you mean by “scientific research-backed design”?

Every Teca product is the result of the intense research carried out by our Research and Development department where an expert team working with the latest IT systems strive daily to incorporate in our machines the breakthroughs in medical and scientific research. The Warm Up range for instance is the outcome of the results of the many research projects that Teca has pursued over the years: CELSIUS, the groundbreaking new infrared device designed and built by Teca to measure and control body temperature with nothing more than a finger and in only a few seconds, provides an accurate measurement of skin temperature, variations in which are a sign of the level of warm up reached. This system is yet another revolutionary and highly scientific Teca innovation given that it is the end result of university studies that progressed in parallel with our own ongoing research both in-house and throughout the country. Our one and only objective has always been to pursue new solutions and create unique pieces of equipment to entice more and more people towards the world of fitness and into your club.
