FRENCH CUSTOMS CHOOSE HTDS

25 May 2020 ─  /  Security  by Camille Bertrand

At the beginning of the year, HTDS won an important call for tender launched by the customs service of the port of Le Havre for the supply of a vehicle and container inspection system. With Rapiscan’s EAGLE G60 mobile inspection gantry, our technical-financial offer was deemed the most interesting one on the market.

 

Our Cargo solution will replace an obsolete competitor’s solution to achieve higher inspection rates and increase inspection performance. The installation will begin within the next few days to allow for commissioning by the end of the year.

 

 

We would like to thank the French Customs for their trust.

HTDS is getting a new look and refreshing its visual identity!

HTDS is getting a new look and refreshing its visual identity!

 After more than twenty years in business, HTDS, an international group specialising in high-tech detection and analysis solutions, is taking a new step in its development and adopting a refreshed visual identity that reflects the ambitions driving the company today. Unveiled exclusively at the beginning of September to all its subsidiaries and sales teams around the world, HTDS’ new logo now takes its full place in the company’s identity and communications. The new logo, with its modern and refined design, has been created to place the company name even more prominently at the heart of the brand a name that stands for quality, reliability, expertise and know-how among its customers while giving a fresh new look to the brand’s historic emblem: The current logo, created in 2002 during the early days of HTDS, embodies the spontaneity and energy of the company’s beginnings. It has faithfully accompanied the company’s growth for almost a quarter of a century. But HTDS is now a fundamentally transformed company: a new president, new shareholders, and a strong ambition to bring all its subsidiaries together around a shared identity and common vision. This strategic turning point called for a coherent visual renewal.The new logo does not break with the brand’s history; it is a deliberate continuation of it. It retains the brand’s colour codes, ensuring continuity and immediate recognition of HTDS across its markets. However, this new visual identity breaks free from the outline that previously constrained it, reflecting the company’s own evolution. More dynamic and contemporary, the redesigned logo reflects HTDS’ strategic positioning: as a solutions provider rather than simply an equipment distributor. The interlocking letters evoke the combination of instruments and expertise that the company brings together to address its customers’ most complex applications. The clean, modern typography firmly positions HTDS within today’s challenges and those of the years to come. Finally, as HTDS approaches its 25th anniversary, the company is choosing to fully embrace its name: HTDS. No translation, no longer accompanied by the explanation “High-Tech Detection Systems” that had been used until now. Today, the brand stands on its own — known, recognised and respected across its markets. This new visual identity is more than just a graphic change: it is a visible sign of a company moving forward, united and determined.
