Tampa, Florida, February 2013 – 2012 was a year of robust growth for global x-ray inspection and fat analysis technology expert Eagle Product Inspection (Eagle) during which the company expanded its market presence with a new Brazilian distributor, strengthened its senior management team and extended its product development capabilities. The company has now further widened its global reach, resources and capabilities to support food and beverage manufacturers in meeting the growing demand for food safety and toughening compliance standards. As part of this strategy, Eagle has enhanced its research and development (R&D) capabilities, developed new application centers and expanded its expert teams in the US, Latin America, Germany and China. These activities will enable the company to design new product inspection technologies, locally support existing and new customers and continue to educate the market on the latest innovations in contaminant detection and fat analysis.
To support global food and beverage manufacturers locally, Eagle combines company experts specializing in x-ray inspection and fat analysis technology and a wide network of distributors, with presence in Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Eagle’s new state-of-the-art R&D facility near Wiesbaden and Frankfurt in Germany, allows for the development and advancement of its industry leading range of x-ray technologies. Newly appointed compliance experts and specialist engineers are working closely with customers at this facility to design inspection systems that deliver unparalleled levels of contaminant detection and chemical lean values with the company’s advanced dual energy X-Ray technology.
