Entrepreneur Rodrigo Cabral combined his background in economics, a passion for automobiles, and international experience to bring xenon headlight technology to Brazil. At the time, this technology was restricted to luxury vehicles, but he introduced a version compatible with halogen-equipped cars. The xenon bulbs were sold in specialized briefcases.

New regulations on xenon lighting were mistakenly interpreted by the market as a complete ban. The volume of product returns quickly surpassed sales, resulting in negative revenue. Faced with this scenario, entrepreneur Rodrigo Cabral made the decision that would define the company’s future: reinventing its business model.

TECH ONE completed its first export, bringing xenon products to the Angolan market. In Brazil, the company redefined its scope: it transitioned from being a dedicated xenon brand to a solutions-driven company boasting the largest accessory portfolio in the country. This marked the launch of the super white bulb and parking sensor product lines.

The super white product line established itself as the sales leader in the Brazilian market. The development of an exclusive inverted bulb coating technique raised the standard for bulb whiteness and influenced manufacturing processes across several brands in the automotive sector.

The CODE brand was launched with a highly competitive edge across all market tiers without compromising on quality. Around this time, TECH ONE earned its first Inmetro certification for halogen bulbs and established its own Research & Development laboratory in Brazil.

That same year, the company won the Prêmio Marca Brasil for best sensor and introduced SVART, a product line dedicated to car audio systems.

The company made its debut at the São Paulo International Motor Show, showcasing TECH ONE, CODE, and SVART. For the second consecutive year, it was honored with the Prêmio Marca Brasil for best automotive sensor, alongside a first-time popular vote trophy for the best backup camera in Brazil.

TECH ONE’s Instagram profile grew to become the largest in the sector in terms of engagement, content volume, and follower count. Its YouTube channel also became a benchmark for the segment, surpassing 1 million views.

TECH ONE entered the Top 100 ranking of the automotive sector in the European market and expanded its distribution in France, Poland, Portugal, and Spain.

Going against the economic crisis, the company achieved a 70% growth during the pandemic. CODE LEDs broke online sales records. This period marked the launch of the compact Ultra LED lines: Force One, featuring high luminosity and easy installation, and Extreme Cut, a high-brightness LED with an external driver—which became one of the brand’s bestsellers.
