The early days

Todd Research Limited was formed in January 1950, designing and manufacturing equipment for the medical and veterinary sectors.  In 1973, Todd Research developed the first X-ray scanner for the mailroom and has evolved into a business focused purely on the development and supply of a range of X-ray, metal detection and blast suppression equipment for public and private organisations of all sizes.

Todd Research today

With customers in over 80 countries, Todd Research is able to call upon a combination of expert market knowledge and excellent product reputation in order to deliver a complete security solution for a wide cross-section of organisations.

Our customers range from Government, (we supply British Embassies around the world), to Private companies (we supply over one third of the constituents of the FTSE 100, as well as most global banking and insurance groups).  We can supply handheld and walkthrough metal detectors and all sizes of X-ray scanners from desktop scanners (see our TR10) through to baggage scanners (TR70) and scanners for cargo applications (see our TR Cargo).

Continued commitment to R&D

Through research and development and communication with government, police and Heads of business security, Todd Research is able to create innovations in X-ray screening that set the standard the world over, including Colortrace® III, EPD® (Enhanced Powder Detection), Remote Operation and DEXGIL, the world’s first hand baggage X-ray conveyor with EDS – Explosive Detection System.
