Overview
Tudor Scan Tech SA is a Swiss security-technology company focused on large-scale inspection and scanning equipment. Founded in 2014 by inventor and entrepreneur Mircea Tudor, the company was established in Switzerland as part of a broader group associated with the Romanian high-technology security company MBTelecom Ltd., founded by Tudor in 1994. The group develops systems intended to inspect aircraft, cargo, containers, occupied cars and vans, heavy vehicles, and other controlled environments without requiring conventional intrusive searches. Its technology portfolio includes X-ray scanners, systems using linear accelerators, gamma-ray inspection systems, and robotic scanning platforms. These products are designed for customs agencies, border authorities, airports, cargo operators, and other security organizations seeking to identify weapons, explosives, contraband, undeclared goods, and other threats. The company’s approach emphasizes non-intrusive inspection, remote operation, and the ability to examine large or occupied objects while reducing the need for manual disassembly or direct exposure of operators to radiation. A central product associated with the group is Roboscan Aeria, a patented aircraft-inspection system developed within the MBTelecom–Tudor Scan Tech organization. The system is designed to scan aircraft for concealed threats and illicit or undeclared materials. Its stated technical concept combines robotic movement with radiographic imaging, allowing the inspection process to be operated remotely. The system is reported to provide image resolution of approximately 0.5 millimetres and to have been installed at Bucharest’s Henri Coanda International Airport. The company’s roots predate the Tudor Scan Tech name. MBTelecom began developing non-intrusive inspection technology in the 2000s, and in 2009 the group presented a robotic mobile scanner for trucks and containers. That invention received the Grand Prix at the 37th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva and a World Intellectual Property Organization award. The group later developed aircraft-scanning technology and received further recognition at the Geneva exhibition in 2013 and 2014. In 2013, it opened a production plant reported to have cost 5 million euros, with the objective of expanding aircraft-scanner manufacturing. Tudor Scan Tech presents itself as a specialist supplier rather than a consumer-facing brand. Its work is concentrated in critical infrastructure, aviation security, customs inspection, and border protection, where equipment must operate at the scale of aircraft, freight vehicles, or shipping containers. The company has also been described as a strategic security partner of the International Air Transport Association. Publicly available reference material provides limited information about its revenue, ownership structure, current management, customer base, and present product deployments. Accordingly, the brand is best characterized as a specialized industrial security and inspection-technology company with an international technology focus, rather than as a widely known consumer brand.
History
Tudor Scan Tech’s history is closely connected with the earlier Romanian company MBTelecom Ltd. MBTelecom was founded by Mircea Tudor in 1994 and developed high-technology systems for the security sector. The group’s work expanded into non-intrusive inspection equipment capable of examining vehicles, containers, aircraft, and other large objects using advanced imaging and radiation-based technologies. In 2009, the group began developing Roboscan Aeria, an aircraft-security inspection concept intended to detect threats and undeclared or illegal materials inside aircraft. The same period saw the introduction of a robotic mobile scanner for trucks and containers. The invention received the Grand Prix at the 37th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva in 2009, as well as a gold medal at that exhibition and a World Intellectual Property Organization award. The group also received a gold medal at the International Invention Fair of the Middle East in Kuwait in 2008. The company’s technology recognition continued in the following years. The group was awarded the Grand Prix at the 41st International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva in 2013 for an aircraft-scanning invention. It received the Grand Prix again at the 42nd exhibition in 2014. These awards helped establish the group’s profile in the international invention and security-technology community. Tudor Scan Tech SA was founded in Switzerland in 2014 by Mircea Tudor. It formed part of a group of companies incorporating MBTelecom and focused on designing and manufacturing inspection systems. The Swiss company’s stated activities include equipment based on X-rays, linear accelerators, and gamma rays for use with aircraft, cargo, containers, occupied cars and vans, heavy vehicles, and border-control operations. In 2013, during the expansion of the group’s aircraft-scanning activities, a new production plant valued at 5 million euros was launched to increase manufacturing capacity for airplane scanners. Roboscan Aeria was subsequently associated with installation at Bucharest’s Henri Coanda Airport. Its operating concept uses remote control and robotic movement so that aircraft can be inspected without requiring personnel to remain in direct proximity to ionizing radiation. The system is described as capable of radiographic detection at a resolution of 0.5 millimetres. The company has been described as a strategic security partner of the International Air Transport Association, reflecting the relevance of its technology to aviation-security processes. Available reference material does not provide a complete chronology of later contracts, ownership changes, financial performance, or executive appointments. The documented history therefore centers on the development of the MBTelecom technology group, its invention awards, the creation of Tudor Scan Tech in Switzerland, and the commercialization of non-intrusive scanning systems for aviation, cargo, and border security.
