The factors influencing the bank’s choice were operational simplicity, low cost and non-radioactive source. The order comes in the wake of recent shipments to financial services organizations in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. This is indicative of IMC’s success in penetrating the finance sector. It also shows that banks and financial institutions take cognizance of security threats and proactively secure their personnel and assets.
As IMC’s sales traverses across hotels, stock exchanges, banks, manufacturing facilities and offices worldwide, the company’s President and CEO, Glenn Bolduc stated the importance of expanding the revenue base from government customers to commercial customers. Since security threats are not unique to governmental organizations, Glenn Bolduc believes that it is in the interest of the company to diversify the markets they cater to.
Primarily focused on the Security, Safety, and Defense (SS&D) markets, the company has proprietary technologies used in narcotics and explosive trace detectors to its credit. The handheld Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 explosive trace detector has been designated as Qualified Anti-terrorism Technology under the 2002 Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act (the SAFETY Act).
