Astrophysics Inc has provided, and managed the installment of, 13 X-ray cargo screening systems at 11 airports in Brazil on behalf of airport operator Infraero, according to Shipping Gazette.
"Because we manufacture our systems in California, we are able to deploy our systems quickly to airports in Brazil, allowing Brazilian officials to provide the highest level of security," said CEO Franaois Zayek.
"This will be particularly important as Brazil prepares to host world-wide sporting events beginning this summer," said Mr Zayek.
Installation of the devices was handled by Astrophysics' local partner and was completed by the December 2013 deadline.
"Our ability to quickly, efficiently and effectively deploy our products and services, along with our affordable price points has contributed greatly to our increased market share," he said.
