SMITHS Detection, part of the global engineering business Smiths Group, today announced it has signed a multi-million dollar contract to supply x-ray systems to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Under the contract, part of the airport expansion project, Smiths Detection will supply 70 of its HI-SCAN 6040i systems to screen carry-on luggage. Delivery will be completed by May 2007.

The decision to select our HI-SCAN 6040i, in preference to other x-ray systems, followed a full evaluation by Shanghai Pudong International Airport who placed the greatest emphasis on quality and value for money in their decision. Smiths Detection looks forward to playing a significant role in ensuring the integrity of security at Shanghai Pudong International Airport in the future.
