Image Scan preparing security X-ray screening systems for the international market

LONDON: Image Scan, specialists in the field of X-ray imaging for the security and industrial inspection markets, announced signature of a partnership agreement with a major security technology company that will lead to the launch of a new range of security X-ray screening systems for the international market.

The first system to be produced under the new agreement will replace the former “Axis 2D” machine in the Company’s product range. The new system will be a high performance, competitive conveyor X-ray machine with a 60x40cm tunnel size, suitable for security checkpoints in Government and commercial buildings around the world. The product range will eventually include a range of X-ray formats. Other technologies, such as archway metal detectors, will also be sourced through the new agreement.

The new system will be taken to market both directly and through Image Scan’s expanding network of international partners.

Bill Mawer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Image Scan commented: “Our organic growth strategy includes both in-house technology development and international partnerships, and so I am delighted to announce this new programme, which will eventually lead to a significant expansion of our security product range. Importantly, these systems will also allow us to increase our recurring service and support revenue.”
