Québec (QC), February 24, 2026 — PRAGMA is proud to announce that its PragmaFlex platform has been selected to receive the prestigious NDTMA Innovation in NDT Award for 2025–2026. The award was formally presented on February 19 to Mr. François Mainguy, CEO of PRAGMA, during the closing reception of the NDTMA 2026 Conference in Las Vegas.
Presented by the Non-Destructive Testing Management Association (NDTMA), the Innovation in NDT Award recognizes groundbreaking technological advancements that significantly impact the nondestructive evaluation (NDE/NDT) industry. PragmaFlex was honored for representing a major technological leap in nondestructive testing by combining ultrasound (UT, PAUT), eddy current (ECT, ECA), and optical/topographic scanning and data acquisition within a single, modular, and intelligent platform. The system enables true multi-modal data acquisition and correlation, allowing simultaneous capture of ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and optical data. Its modular architecture also ensures cost-effectiveness by enabling individual inspection modes to be upgraded as needed.
Among its key competitive advantages, PragmaFlex simplifies the integration of traditional and collaborative robots, helping industry effectively address labor shortages amid steadily rising demand.
"This award is an incredible honor for our entire team," said François Mainguy, CEO of PRAGMA. "PragmaFlex was built around a simple but ambitious idea: to redefine what NDT inspections can look like by integrating multiple technologies into one intelligent, flexible platform. By enabling multi-modal data correlation in a practical and scalable way, we are helping our customers gain deeper insights, improve reliability, and future-proof their inspection capabilities. I am immensely proud of our team’s innovation and dedication."
Mr. Mainguy also recognized the contributions of the PRAGMA engineering and development team, whose expertise and vision were instrumental in bringing PragmaFlex to market. The recognition further strengthens PRAGMA’s position as an innovator in advanced inspection technologies serving industries such as aerospace, automotive, nuclear, energy, and oil & gas.
