TEXAN has issued an official response to the controversy surrounding its “recycling stations,” outlining ten key facts about its Recycling Multi-Centers. The company alleges an organized smear campaign and levels pointed accusations at competitors, political figures, and other involved parties.
The official statement from TEXAN
1) Is it true that the recent wave of false and defamatory publications targeting the Recycling Multi-Centers began following the announcement (on 3.7.2026) of the successful contractor in two International Tenders for the supply of recycling equipment conducted by DRS HELLAS?
2) Which businessman approached a television network, and for what purpose, requesting the broadcast of false and defamatory content about the Recycling Multi-Centers?
3) Why do certain publications cite an EDEL audit finding referencing a purchase price of €66,000, when the specific EDEL audit report explicitly states that a competing company submitted a financial offer of €332,072 (€267,800 plus VAT) per Recycling Multi-Center in the International Tender of FODSA Peloponnese (see pages 35 and 42 of the report)?
4) Why has the financial offer submitted by a competing company in the International Tender of ESDA Crete not been disclosed, which would confirm that the same competitor offered a price of €332,072 in a second tender as well?
5) Is it true that a Plenary Decision by the Court of Audit (No. 1345-2024) has irrevocably ruled that there was no overpricing, no tailored specifications, and that all tenders relating to the Recycling Multi-Centers were conducted without fault?
6) What is the family relationship between the legal representative of the competing company and a Secretary-General of the Cabinet who held that position for eight years under a specific government?
7) What is the connection between a current parliamentary party leader — who has publicly cited a cost of €66,000 per Multi-Center — and the aforementioned Cabinet Secretary-General and their respective political party?
8) Which parliamentary party’s sectoral spokesperson, and in what capacity, attempted to introduce tailored technical specifications favoring a specific company in the DRS HELLAS tenders?
9) Is it true that the Ambassador of the country of origin of a competing company held a meeting at the Embassy with the Legal Representative of a Government-affiliated Organization during the evaluation period of the Open International Tenders conducted by DRS HELLAS for the selection of contractors for the supply of recycling equipment — with the subject of the meeting being those very tenders?
10) Why do certain publications claim that the operation of Recycling Multi-Centers by FODSA organizations was suspended due to the company’s fault, when official press releases posted on FODSA websites confirm that the operational contracts were completed, and that the FODSA organizations themselves — through their own exclusive fault — have delayed selecting a new contractor?
