Company
MultiX was founded in October 2010 by Jacques Doremus and Patrick Radisson with the support of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and Thales.

The company provides its clients with detection sub-systems that allow for baggage security checks, reduced operating costs for airports and passenger comfort, making it possible in particular for liquids to be carried during air travel.

In the non-destructive testing sector, MultiX's systems also allow for improved discrimination between unwanted objects in the food processing industry, according to the company.

MultiX also services customers in the food processing and recycling sectors. The group manages a manufacturing plant in Moirans. According to Capital Finance, the group's turnover is projected to be around €20m in 2018.
