Zum 01.04.2022 zieht die CEIA GmbH in ein neu errichtetes Firmengebäude in der Peter-Sander-Str. 37A, 55252 Wiesbaden im Stadtteil Mainz-Kastel. Neben großflächigen Showrooms und Büroräumen, wurden für einen verbesserten Kundenservice umfangreiche Werkstatt, Trainings- sowie Laborbereiche eingeplant und mit modernstem Equipment ausgestattet.

„Um auch in Zukunft gemeinsam mit unseren Kunden zu wachsen, haben wir uns für den Bau unseres neuen Firmengebäudes entschieden. Bei der Planung wurde der Fokus insbesondere auf verbesserte und moderne Beratungsmöglichkeiten, Dienstleistungen und Services gelegt. In Summe werden wir unseren Kunden ein intensiveres und detailreicheres Erlebnis unserer Technologie, der Produkte und unseres Leistungsversprechen bieten können. Wir sind stolz, diesen wichtigen Schritt in der Geschichte der CEIA GmbH nun gehen zu können.“, so Dr. Hilmar Walde, Geschäftsführer der CEIA GmbH.

Auf 2000qm werden mittelfristig bis zu 30 qualifizierte Mitarbeiter/innen vor Ort die Zukunft der CEIA GmbH gestalten. Im Fokus der Planung stand dabei, sich mit dem Neubau bestmöglich auf zukünftige Kundenanforderungen vorzubereiten und die bauliche Identität der CEIA Group auch in Deutschland beizubehalten.

„Das Gebäude verbindet die Tradition unseres Unternehmens mit den Anforderungen der Moderne. Ich persönlich freue mich ganz besonders, unseren Mitarbeitern/innen mit dem Neubau eine verbesserte, zeitgemäße und flexible Arbeitsumgebung bieten zu können. Durch die Labore, Trainingsräume, den Werkstattbereich sowie die deutlich verbesserte Logistik werden wir unsere Stärken in Zukunft noch besser ausspielen. Wir können es kaum erwarten, unsere Neuentwicklungen in nächsten Jahren mit unseren Kunden in die Praxis zu bringen.“

„Gerne lade ich Sie ein, sich selbst ein Bild unseres neuen Standortes zu verschaffen. Wir hoffen, bestehende Kundenbeziehungen durch unsere erweiterten Beratungs- und Serviceangebote zu vertiefen und durch neue Produktsegmente und Entwicklungsprojekte weitere Partnerschaften aufbauen zu können.“

The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) acts in the world to build a safer, more prosperous, and more sustainable future for New Zealanders.

They do this by building connections with and influencing other countries to advance New Zealand’s interests, project New Zealand values, and secure the outcomes that matter to New Zealand.

One of the key pillars of the Ministry's offerings is to contribute to the well-being and security of New Zealanders by offering Kiwis the ability to live, do business, travel, and communicate more safely at home and offshore.

MFAT contacted Tactical Solutions (The CEIA partner in New Zealand) and wanted to source and facilitate an install of a CEIA SMD 600 Plus metal detection system into a temporary High Commission location in London.

The security team wanted a Walk-Through Metal Detector that can detect small metal objects for persons entering the High Commission.

They have successfully implemented the CEIA SMD 600 Plus into other embassies around the world, including the Sri Lanka embassy which the Tactical Solutions team had successfully installed earlier this year and specifically wanted the SMD 600 plus.

Andrew Hunter, the Lead Advisor Projects for the Security Division for Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade New Zealand said that “We have used the CEIA SMD 600 Plus extensively in our embassies all over the world.

"We have members of staff where there is sometimes a language barrier and the ease of use of the SMD600 Plus makes it easy to train staff.”

“The ease of calibration is also a big plus, so when the threat levels change, we can very easily change the sensitivity of the unit to match the threat level.”

“I like the large range of options that CEIA offers with the units and the capabilities to add other elements onto the unit like the Thermal Detection Unit (TDU) for COVID screening compliance.”

The new CEIA EMA‐4 multi‐sensor liquid explosive detection system is now certified according to ECAC performance requirements for Standard 3 Type B Liquid Explosive Detection Systems (LEDS).

The detection capability of the certified EMA‐4 liquid analyser complies and exceeds the current European requirements.

The characteristics of the comprehensive set of sensors installed on the equipment make the EMA‐4 a unique low power solution providing very high security, high throughput, ease of use and maximum safety for the operator.

Factory upgrade from EMA‐3 to EMA‐4 is available.

CEIA Limited will be working in partnership with Heathrow Airport to continue the journey to improve security screening checkpoints by providing the latest innovations from CEIA; notably the SAMDEX; the UK‐DfT approved Shoe Metal & Explosive Detector and the 02PN20 Walk‐Through Metal Detector.
The CEIA SAMDEX will enable Heathrow airport to conduct faster and easier multi‐threat detection security screening on passenger shoes making the passenger journeys more seamless.
Both parties look forward to the future and working together on this security journey.

CEIA Limited is the affiliated company of CEIA SpA, a leading manufacturer of Security Screening Equipment, acting as main UK distributor branch located in Warwickshire which began trading in August 2013.

CEIA, a premier provider of high-performance Security Metal Detectors, today announced the availability of the new CEIA PD240CB Hand-Held Metal Detector (HHMD) that features a superior detection range for weapons and minimum metal targets.

CEIA, a leading provider of security screening equipment, has expanded its installation base of the EMA-3 Liquid Analyser to Australia Airports. Thirteen of these liquid analyzer units have been installed at seven of the major airports including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Darwin and Adelaide to inspect bottles and their contents in order to reveal the presence of explosive liquids.

The screening procedure is extremely simple, thanks to the automatic recognition of the bottle in the inspection cavity. In just a few seconds, the analyzer provides a positive response (OK) or an alarm message without the need for any interpretation on the part of the operator. The device analyses the entire volume of the bottle and can screen liquids in plastic, glass and ceramic bottles.

The electromagnetic field generated within the inspection cavity is of weak intensity and non-ionizing, and is safe both for the liquids and for the operator. Calibration is automatic.

The EMA-3 is certified according to the EU Standard 2 for Bottled Liquid Scanners (BLS) in use for airports.

CEIA is a market leader in the manufacture of Metal Detectors and other security control devices, with more than 40 years of experience.

Some information about CEIACEIA is a market leader in the manufacture of Metal Detectors and related electromagnetic security control devices, with more than 40 years of experience. The walk-through Metal Detectors for airport security comply with the most stringent requirements specified by the Competent Authorities and provide automatic identification of metal threats over the whole body of the passenger, including the body cavities, as well as the maximum possible transit flow-rate thanks to their excellent discrimination of metal personal effects.

The Procurement Agency of the German Ministry of the Interior - Beschaffungsamt des BMI - awards CEIA the contract for the supply of 84 “Type A + B” Liquid Analyzers for use in German airports.

The EMA analyzer is a device designed to inspect bottles and their contents in order to reveal the presence of any combustible, inflammable and/or explosive liquids. The detection procedure is extremely simple, thanks to the automatic recognition of the bottle in the inspection cavity. In just a few seconds, the analyzer provides a positive response (OK) or an alarm message without the need for any interpretation on the part of the operator. The device analyzes the entire volume of the bottle.

If the result of the analysis matches the characteristics of harmless liquids (e.g. water, wine, spirits or soft drinks), the device gives an “OK” message and a green light signal.

If the result does not conform to ‘harmless’ characteristics, the EMA analyzer gives a visual and acoustic alarm signal.

The electromagnetic field generated within the inspection cavity is of weak intensity and non-ionizing, and is safe both for the liquids and for the operator. Calibration is automatic.
