Todd Research, a global leader in X-ray equipment for threat detection in the safety and security industry, is excited and honoured to have received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation 2022 for its TR15 and TR40 cabinet X-ray scanners. Todd Research has over 70 years of experience in designing and manufacturing X-ray scanners, initially specialising in equipment for medical purposes.

Todd Research’s highly skilled engineers have since been committed to the research and development of innovative security solutions, helping the company to advance and expand its product portfolio to cover a wide range of applications. The company’s exceptional product quality and forward-thinking mindset has allowed it to grow from a local business to a global enterprise, with customers in over 80 countries. Handpicking the components Each component that makes up one of Todd Research’s high resolution X-ray scanners – from cameras to hinges – is carefully chosen to ensure that the product operates smoothly and lasts for a
long time. Jason Wakefield, Sales Director at Todd Research, commented: “We always want to provide the absolute best to our clients, and we’re not happy with simply living up to the expectations, we want to exceed them.” More than hardware A well-designed scanner can provide high image quality, but the true value lies in the hardware and software working in tandem. Scanners made by Todd Research come with powerful software to further enhance resolution
every time. Our other core values are respect, passion, innovation, and transparency – we are passionate about moving forward, and stay one step ahead by constantly seeking ways to improve our products and services.
