KLAXON STORY

Why in the sea it is so easy to move autonomously while in the city we encounter so many difficulties?

The idea of producing mobility solutions for people in wheelchairs was born from the sea.
The previous phrase may seem like a provocation, but realising that it is easier to cross the ocean in a sailing boat than to move around the city, led to the idea of creating “something” that allows people to move around easily and independently on land.
In 2015, Enrico Boaretto and Andrea Stella, the founders of Klaxon, set up a company that designs solutions for the everyday mobility of people who, like them, are wheelchair users.

The choice of the company’s name, however, comes from a completely different world: the road. In fact “Klaxon”, as well as being a reinterpretation of the name of the car horn, sounds loud and evocative. The products are called Klick because this word recalls how fast they can be engaged and disengaged: in just a “klick”.
Klaxon immediately stood out on the world scene as a highly innovative company, with a creative and cutting-edge R&D department and a worldwide patent for the “Linking System Klaxon®”.

Since then Enrico and Andrea have never stopped. Their inquisitive and perfectionist character, supported by a team of engineers and designers, determined the evolution of the models, featuring the best technologies and the most innovative solutions.

Klaxon has achieved ambitious goals that prove its commitment and quality: it has obtained various certifications, including the ISO 13485, and worldwide patents that attest to its excellence and quality at an international level.

KLAXON SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

WoW – Wheels On Waves

Klaxon is constantly committed to the promotion and dissemination of the concepts of accessibility and inclusion and does so by returning to the very waves from which it was born. Since its first edition, the company has supported the open days of the “WoW – Wheels On Waves” project which consist of sailing and on-board activities on “Lo Spirito di Stella”, the first accessible catamaran in the world.

Klaxon is committed to promote the awareness and knowledge of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and to support the non-profit activities organised on the world’s first fully accessible catamaran “Lo Spirito di Stella”.
Klaxon is the main sponsor of the “WoW – Wheels On Waves” project and it offers, totally free of charge, to persons with disabilities to experience the sea in freedom together with their loved ones, making them feel as they are at home on the boat. Once ashore they can enjoy an adventurous ride in total autonomy aboard the Klicks provided for them.
Klaxon is also the main sponsor of the “WoW for children” project, dedicated to children with disabilities and their families. An opportunity to live a carefree and joyful day at sea.
Klaxon supports economically and concretely the activities and sport events such as Handbike races, international sailing championships, skiing, paradressage, archery, adaptive surfing, paradance and much more.
