unival group celebrates 130 years of X-ray technology and the vision behind the X-Factor.
unival group joins the global scientific community in celebrating 130 years since Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s discovery of X-rays, one of the greatest milestones in human innovation. Röntgen’s discovery in 1895 changed the way humanity sees the world, revealing what was once invisible and opening the path to countless applications in medicine, science, and security.
This anniversary is a meaningful date for unival, as the discovery of X rays represents more than a breakthrough in imaging; it symbolizes the company’s guiding principle. The letter X defines the unival X-Factor, a framework that drives how every solution is designed, integrated, and operated:
- eXPOSE – Detect threats early, before they become crises
- eXPAND – Scale and adapt your security as your needs evolve
- eXECUTE – Operate with automation, precision, and insight
X ray based imaging remains an essential part of unival’s work, supporting accurate assessment in vehicle and cargo screening and helping organisations understand risks with greater clarity.
“130 years of X-ray technology, and it’s still at the core of innovation. Truly amazing,” said David Vollmar, Managing Director of unival group. “X-ray technology still shapes the way we understand the world,.“
“At unival, we are proud to carry this legacy forward. Through the X Factor, we reveal threats with clarity and support informed actions. For us, the future is bright; with AI, automation, and sensor fusion, we are ready to take X-ray technology to the next level,” added Mr. Vollmar.
As a company rooted in the spirit of German engineering and continuous innovation, unival integrates advanced imaging and analytical technologies into its security solutions. The company honours the scientific heritage that made modern imaging possible and remains committed to advancing its use in the security field. Looking ahead, unival will continue to develop imaging and analytic technologies that support effective security operations for clients worldwide.
