The Group's products provide high resolution information on material composition and structure and are used in multiple applications, ranging from the identification of cancerous tissues to hazardous materials, such as explosives, and the analysis of radioactive materials.

Kromek uses multiple technologies in its manufacturing processes, including the established methods of 'liquid phase' detector production, and also 'vapour phase' production methods, which allow the production of high quality, high performance detectors on an industrial scale.  Kromek has an intellectual property portfolio of more than 70 granted patents and 110 pending applications.

The Group's business model provides a vertically integrated technology offering to customers, from the growth of CZT crystals to finished products or detectors, including software, electronics and application specific integrated circuits ("ASICs").

The Board believes that the vertical integration offered by Kromek, combined with the benefit of 25 years of research into CZT production and the patents and trade secrets accumulated by the Group, are unparalleled in the market place.
