With major orders from UK government departments, agencies and frameworks received in the last year, Kromek will be demonstrating some of the successful products on its stand.

Visitors to Kromek’s stand can get hands-on with some of Kromek’s most successful products, including D5 RIID, for the UK Ministry of Defence, D3M, selected by the Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service for the Home Office Resilience Requirement and D3S, a key component of the UK Government’s Radiological Nuclear Detection Framework, alongside the D5 RIID.

Further expanding its global reach, Kromek has also upgraded its Kromek ID app to support multiple additional languages – including Spanish, French, Arabic, Romanian, Ukrainian and Korean – ensuring its technology is more accessible to international users.
 
Also on the stand will be the CZT probe and the RayMon detector. It was Kromek’s unique and innovative CZT development and manufacture which recently attracted the global industry giant Siemens to sign multiyear agreements with the company, starting with an initial $25 million investment. CZT technology can be used for a wide range of purposes including in the health care sector, the civilian emergency services or military bomb disposal (counter explosive device) markets.
 
Kromek’s Commercial Director, Craig Duff, said: “The breadth of Kromek’s product range means that we are a one-stop shop for innovative detection capabilities to combat a wide variety of radiological threats.

"The Security & Policing event gives us an opportunity to engage face to face with many of our UK and overseas government and civilian agencies and other customers.”
