The French company was established for the purpose of creating this type of equipment and came up with their first diagnostic instrument, the XR25 developed in 1985 for Renault. Up front are the electronic diagnostic devices which are one of the core business of the group. At present, the Actia Italia catalogue brings together entire families of products as does that of French Corporation, packed with electronic diagnostic devices which are Actia's core business. Testifying to this success are the synergies formed with two industry giants, Case New Holland and Argo Tractors, which now equip their machinery with the Diag4ArGo diagnostic device for Argo and the CNH UCM (Universal Control Module). This diversification strategy pursued by management in partnership with FGA has proven so effective that Actia Italian has penetrated and consolidated the division's presence in the sectors of agricultural machinery and special vehicles offering greater growth opportunities. The high degree of autonomy given for the division's operations has enabled their staff to extend work beyond automotive diagnostics into other sectors of the group's activities to thereby increase the number of Actia's potential customers. Management issues in the collaboration of the two enterprises required such deep commitment that the French multinational moved to create the Italian division, Actia Italia Srl, set up a few months following the understanding with FGA and given facilities for developing software for vehicle diagnostic systems and providing technical and logistics support. Actia in Italy has maintained commercial offices in Turin since 1992 which then took a leap in status in 2000 through partnership with Fiat Group Automobiles (FGA) which gave Actia the job of developing, marketing and managing post-sales assistance for the Examiner Start, the then new diagnostics system for Fiat automobile CPUs. Actia Italia is headquartered in the Turin area industrial district where agricultural mechanization manufacturers play a leading role and offer great opportunities for the company to grow and consolidate. Actia is a France based group with a global presence specializing in high added value onboard electronics and diagnostic systems for the automotive, industrial and agricultural sectors and telecommunications markets.
