A hi-tech security firm has won a £1m contract for equipment to be used at airports in Iraq.
Westminster Group based in Banbury will supply its ThruPORT scanning system within the next few months.
The system is built within a specialised shipping container unit and designed to scan baggages and people for suspect devices.
Should an explosion occur, it is contained within the unit, minimising damage to other areas.
The units have been developed in partnership with Milton Park-based imaging specialist ThruVision and is monitored remotely allowing for fast processing of people and packages.
Westminster started 2009 with an order book of some £4.2m compared to £1.4m in the same period last year.
Last month, the group bought security management firm Longmoor Services for a sum of up to £2.4m.
