Smiths Detection: A New Chapter

Making the world a safer place


A message on our transition to new ownership

Smiths Detection has officially become an independent company under the ownership of CVC Capital Partners, following our successful separation from Smiths Group.

This marks the beginning of a new chapter - one that strengthens our ability to focus, invest, and grow as a global leader in threat detection and screening technologies.

While our ownership has changed, what defines us has not. Our commitment to our customers, our mission to make the world a safer place, and the expertise of our people remain exactly the same.

A message from our leadership

"This is a defining moment for Smiths Detection. As we become an independent business backed by CVC Capital Partners, we are sharpening our focus and accelerating our ambition.

Our purpose remains unchanged - but our ability to deliver on it becomes even stronger. We are building a future-ready organisation that will continue to lead, innovate, and protect.
