North East tech innovator Kromek seals new deal with US giant Smiths Detection

North East tech innovator Kromek has sealed a new deal with a US supplier of security screening equipment.

The NET Park based business, which develops and manufactures radiation and bio-detection technology solutions, announced a new distribution agreement with Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies. Under the terms of the agreement, Smiths Detection will market and distribute the Kromek’s wearable radiation detection and identification solutions in the Middle East and certain key markets in Asia and Australasia.

The deal expands upon an existing agreement which was sealed in July 2022 with Smiths Detection Inc, for distribution in North and South American markets. That deal has focussed on marketing and selling its D3 and D5 series of wearable radiation detectors, designed for first responders, armed forces, border security and weapons experts to detect threats such as dirty bombs, radioactive contamination and smuggling of radioactive substances.
