Detection Engineer Landscape

A fundamentally strong business

Smiths is a FTSE 100 company with a balanced portfolio of market-leading, industrial technology businesses. Our businesses have leading positions in critical markets, and deliver superior customer service through our global capabilities and sustained investment in R&D. 

All of this supported by a robust financial framework with high proportion of recurring revenues through our aftermarket offering, and high and resilient margins. 

Supporting a premium rating for Smiths

 

Building on our strong operational and financial performance, in 2025 we announced a number of strategic actions to unlock significant value and enhance returns to shareholders. 
 
We are focussing on our world-class John Crane and Flex-Tek businesses, with Smiths Interconnect to be divested, and Smiths Detection to be separated either by UK demerger or sale following the sale of Smiths Interconnect.

We will return a large portion of disposal proceeds to shareholders.
