To date, the group has delivered over 1,000 detectors under this partnership, Kromek added.
Arnab Basu, Kromek’s chief executive, noted that the extension “underscores the strength of our relationship and is a great endorsement of our products."
"With security forces globally requiring increasingly sophisticated solutions to guard against the threats of nuclear terrorism and the illicit movement of materials, the demand for our high-performance nuclear security products continues to grow," he said in a statement.
Michael Lea, Smiths’ Detection global director, added " Smiths Detection are delighted to have entered into an agreement with Kromek to distribute their world-class products. We believe that they will meet the requirements of many customers across many different markets and will add a new dimension to the range of products available from Smiths Detection."
