Company History

Our company was established in 1987 in Schwadorf, Austria, as Silena Vertriebsgesellschaft GmbH – a representative of the Italian radiation detection & measurement equipment manufacturer SILENA.
In 1994, due to the change of our major supplier to Canberra Industries, Inc., we have adopted our current name – CANBERRA PACKARD Central Europe GmbH. The company’s main activities were sales, installation, and service of ionizing radiation detection & measurementinstrumentation for industrial, medical, and environmental applications. A number of local offices have been established in Central and Eastern Europe, putting us even closer to our customers and offering local know-how. The outstanding quality of our products and services has made us the largest supplier in the region.
