|
The Metal Detection technology developed by the company and the numerous requests from Institutions in the field convince CEIA to design and manufacture devices to detect metals in the subsoil. |
| 1996 |
|
The CEIA Quality System is awarded ISO 9001 Certification. |
| 1996 |
|
CEIA patents the elliptical column walk-through Metal Detector. This efficient, aesthetically pleasing device can easily and unobtrusively be used in high level government agencies and private corporations. The elliptic detector is later selected for security control operations in the Jubilee 2000 celebration. |
| 1994 |
|
CEIA commences production of the new THS series of industrial Metal Detectors, characterized by state-of-the-art performance and standard all-stainless-steel construction. |
| 1990 |
