The firm says that the new facility allows the company to focus efforts on impending global procurement for radiation portal monitors and other radiation identification and detection equipment. The MP was introduced to Symetrica’s spectrum of threat verification equipment that have secured contract wins for the company in the US, Middle East and Europe.
Since her election in May 2010, Caroline has campaigned on various subjects, including education and the need for a high skilled economy and sat on a number of committees scrutinising pieces of legislation, among others the Justice and Security Bill. She said: “The investment in a dedicated RTV Solutions Hub demonstrates Symetrica’s ongoing commitment to providing the technology and support that global agencies need to address ever-evolving security threats. It also proves once again that the UK is at the cutting edge of developing technology solutions for international and home markets.”
Heddwyn Davies, Symetrica’s CEO, said: “Building on our record of international sales growth, Caroline Nokes’ attendance at the inauguration of Symetrica’s RTV Solutions Hub reflects our desire to widen the existing dialogue and strengthen relationships not only with government representatives, procurement agencies and end users but also with the local community, including universities and students, and to demonstrate Symetrica’s contribution to the growing possibilities in the radiation detection industry.”
Symetrica’s says that its hub will specialise in the development of detectors, from handheld devices to fixed and mobile radiation portal monitors (RPMs). The company’s Discovery Technology is employed across the company’s product range and in various OEM products, including the Smiths Detection RadSeeker.
