Proven Expertise in Security Solutions

Airport Security Solutions

Today, international travel involves airport security to protect travellers and their belongings. Travellers and cargo pass through security devices that quickly test for multiple types of narcotics or trace amounts of explosives.

With heightened international security concerns, these devices are now found in sports venues, with portable units used for large gatherings of people at events. Macfab produces the high-precision components and assemblies required to build these trace detection systems.

Border and Internal Security Solutions

Macfab is a globally recognized manufacturer of high-precision components and assemblies for trace detection. Our customer solutions detect the presence of explosives and narcotics in organic compounds in the air and on materials passing through security systems. Such trace residue testing devices are used by military forces, border security, internal security forces, and police teams to keep our communities safe.

Manufacturing Excellence in Optical and Trace Detection

Our manufacturing team uses its wealth of expertise by offering innovative solutions to assist in solving customers’ challenges, specifically in manufacturing optical and trace detection devices.

We also bring our accumulated knowledge through decades of manufacturing process R&D, materials, tooling, fixturing, machining, programming, and sequencing to create well-planned manufacturing process operations.
