Texray AB | Gothenburg, Sweden | December 27, 2021 |
Yet another year is coming to its end. Looking back on what we have achieved and where we are heading, we can easily narrow it down to how Thankful we are.
To all new partners and customers of 2021, we are grateful to have you on board. To our long-lived friends and supporters, thank you for your continued trust in us and for believing that we will revolutionize the radiation protection industry with our smart textile.
We wish you all a joyful season and good health. Stay safe 💛
Glimpses of 2021
In January 2021, we welcomed Mr. Jeffrey Jump as Chairman of the board.
We completed a successful round of fundraising with new and existing investors that enabled Texray to push for global commercialization.
Our Founding duo Petra Apell and Fredrik Gellerstedt took on new roles within the team to maximize RnD and commercialization stages.
We launched a new webshop in the US, we onboarded a new distributor, ScoRad, and the Texray team grew stronger with Ulf Rennstam as he joined us as our Global Sales Director.
Creating Awareness about Radiation Safety
We got invited to participate at CIRSE Summit, where Prof. Rohde and Mr. Bärenfänger presented astonishing clinical data on the possible reduction of scatter radiation dose when using HeadPeace and MindPeace.
Dr. Gabriel Bartal, Tel Aviv, Israel, member of the Radiation Protection Subcommittee especially thanked Prof. Rohde and Mr. Bärenfänger for their great work and mentioned in the summary:
“Innovations like Texray garments, amongst all, that provide enhanced protection against radiation and are really useful in practice; should clearly be recommended.”
Continuous trust in Texray
Vinnova granted Texray funding through the Medtech4Health strategic funding program for competence enhancement.
The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket) decided to grant Texray funding to improve productivity and capacity in the manufacturing process.
Last but not least, we have been overwhelmed by the tremendous end-user feedback we have received throughout the year from Medical practitioners from all over the globe. This reassures us that our human-centered design is on-spot and improves the working environment for medical practitioners.
