International freight forwarder Concordia International Forwarding Corp. has purchased 15 IONSCAN 500DT desktop explosive trace detectors from Smiths Detection to help meet the needs of the air cargo screening mandate. Concordia will deploy a machine at each of its 15 sites in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. “The IONSCAN 500DT technology allows us to comply with the mandate without negatively impacting our transit time,” says Paul Emposimato, corporate vice president at Concordia.
