Celebrating 65 years of TAKEX

30 Apr 2024

SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, IN THE HEART OF KYOTO, JAPAN, SHINSAKU TAKENAKA SAW A FUTURE GUARDED BY INVISIBLE LIGHT. TRANSCENDING THE LIMITATIONS OF PHYSICAL BARRIERS AND INSTEAD HARNESSING THE POWER OF THE UNSEEN, HE FOUNDED TAKEX... A COMPANY THAT'S BEEN KEEPING THE WORLD MORE SECURE EVER SINCE.

From the outset, we recognised the immense potential of infrared technology, a realm invisible to the naked eye yet brimming with possibility.

Launching as PULNiX overseas in 1982, we returned to the TAKEX brand internationally in 2003, now a global leader in infrared security detection. Extending far beyond securing homes and businesses, our sensors play a pivotal role in safeguarding critical infrastructure, government buildings, and even high-profile royal and military installations around the globe, earning the trust of security professionals across the international landscape.

Since 1959, we’ve been continually pushing the boundaries of sensor technology with a laser focus, achieving an unmatched standard of precision and reliability that’s now at the heart of every sensor we craft.

Across industries, including security, a shift towards sustainable practices is taking hold. We're leading the charge by optimising our next-generation detectors to significantly reduce their energy consumption, without sacrificing performance or innovation. This translates to tangible cost savings for our customers, while simultaneously redefining the standard for security detection in terms of environmental impact.

WITH TAKEX, ONE THING IS FOR SURE: THE FUTURE OF SECURITY ISN'T JUST BRIGHT, IT'S INFRARED!
