Kromek awarded $58m medical imaging contract
Kromek (AIM: KMK), a worldwide supplier of detection technology focusing on the medical, security screening and nuclear markets, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a new contract, by an existing OEM customer, expected to be worth a minimum of $58.1m over a seven-year period.
Under the terms of the contract, Kromek will supply Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors and associated advanced electronics to be used in state-of-the-art medical imaging systems. The Company’s technology provides higher resolution detection capabilities enabling better patient outcomes.
Kromek will deliver the contract over a seven-year period, commencing immediately, and will begin recognising revenue from the 2019/2020 fiscal year.
Arnab Basu, CEO of Kromek, commented: “We are delighted to have been awarded this multi-year contract from an existing OEM customer, which is one of the most significant that we have secured both from a strategic and monetary perspective. It is also the first major contract that will be delivered from our new facility in the US that has been purpose built as a world-class production site for medical imaging products. Building on the $80m of contracts won over the last three fiscal years, this award strengthens and solidifies our revenue visibility and demonstrates the increasing commercial traction of our CZT detectors in our key target markets of medical imaging and nuclear detection.”

The quality of the facilities at NETPark and the attitude of staff is first class. It has a really dynamic, innovative atmosphere.
We initially came because of the printable electronics centre but access to a highly skilled semi conductor workforce in the North East has been a key factor in us staying and growing here, as well as the value for money office space and the access to funding.
CPI has developed a specialist offering to support SMEs looking to develop their printable electronics applications and our partnership with Business Durham has been instrumental in attracting several SMEs to locate here in the region.
Access to quality facilities was one of the main drivers for deciding to locate the business at the NETPark. We have been able to use this as a launch pad to link into support from CPI and world-class expertise from Durham University.
It fits perfectly for us that we’re surrounded by like-minded companies at NETPark. There are a number of highly skilled people in the area who can help us grow our business. The facilities and services offered by NETPark are first class, they make office life simple and engaging.
The proximity to the universities and the infrastructure are very important factors. Ultimately having a presence in Europe is very valuable to us and we intend to stay at NETPark for many years to come.
