BST are one of the worlds leading suppliers of metal detectable and x-ray visible products, which are widely used in the food industry. Detectable products are primarily produced from modified food safe plastics and rubbers, designed to increase food safety by being visually, electromagneticaly and x-ray visible. First formed in 1985, BST was quick to establish itself as a leading supplier and innovator in the production of products, materials, and equipment for the food and pharmaceutical industries. To this day, BST prides itself on its international service and delivery capability, supporting many blue chip manufacturing companies with a wide portfolio of quality products. The company’s USP rests in its ability to not only supply the widest range of detectable products in the market, but according to John Teasdale, Managing Director, 'the value lies in our ability to leverage our experience and production capabilities to service customers with standard, proprietary and custom products that solve problems, improve processes and support claims of using all due diligence'.
