Cambridge (Cambridge Tribune) July 15, 2026 – Precision X-Ray, Inc., an American company that specialises in X-ray irradiation and is part of Tibidabo Scientific Industries, has launched a dedicated UK base in Cambridge to strengthen its commercial presence and support growth across Europe.
As reported by the company’s official announcement,
“The launch of Precision UK establishes a direct commercial presence on this side of the Pond. The global business is headquartered in Connecticut” .
The new UK operation, named Precision UK, is based at Cambridge Commercial Park on Cowley Road and is designed to “strengthen customer relationships and provide a springboard to further expansion across Europe” .
The decision to open in Cambridge comes at a time when demand for high-performance X-ray irradiation technologies is rising across life sciences, translational and oncology research, Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), material sciences, and other emerging scientific applications . The company describes the launch as “an important milestone in Precision’s long-term growth strategy” that reflects this increasing demand.
How Will the New UK Base Change Support for Customers?
Customers throughout the UK and Ireland will now be supported directly by Precision’s dedicated local sales and service team, according to the company’s statement [source: Precision X-Ray, Inc.]. This local team will provide:
- Faster response times
- Closer collaboration with researchers and organisations
- Applications support
- Installation services
- Training for staff
- Preventative maintenance
- Technical service throughout the research and operational lifecycle
As the company explains, “By combining local expertise with the resources of a global organisation, Precision says it is further strengthening its ability to support customers throughout every stage of their research and operational lifecycle”.
Viktoriya Baytser, CEO of Precision X-Ray, stated: “Our customers have always been at the centre of every decision we make. The launch of Precision UK reflects our long-term commitment to investing directly in the markets we serve and ensuring our customers have immediate access to the expertise, responsiveness, and support they deserve”.
She added: “We are excited to continue building even stronger relationships throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland while supporting researchers with innovative technologies that advance science and improve lives” .
What Does the Expansion Mean for Precision X-Ray’s Growth Strategy?
The initial expansion represents “an important milestone in Precision’s long-term growth strategy”, according to the company [source: Precision X-Ray, Inc.]. Although the new Cambridge base is currently supported by five staff members, Precision reports “possibilities for growth”.
Industry observers, as noted in the announcement, predict that the Precision UK base “will quickly swell in terms of headcount” due to its position within the global Tibidabo Group . This suggests that the Cambridge office is not just a small sales outpost but a planned hub that could grow into a larger technical and commercial centre over time.
By establishing Precision UK, the company is creating a structured pathway for future expansion across Europe, using Cambridge as a strategic entry point given its strong research ecosystem and close links to universities, biotech firms, and public research institutions.
Which Research Areas Will Benefit from Precision’s UK Presence?
The company states that the increasing demand for its technologies is driven by applications in:
- Life sciences
- Translational and oncology research
- Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)
- Material sciences
- Other emerging scientific applications
These areas are central to many of the research programmes active in and around Cambridge, including those at the University of Cambridge, nearby biotechnology companies, and national research facilities. The local presence of Precision UK is intended to make it easier for researchers in these fields to access X-ray irradiation systems, receive timely support, and integrate the technology into their workflows.
As the company notes, the launch “reflects the increasing demand for high-performance X-ray irradiation technologies supporting life sciences, translational and oncology research, Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), material sciences and other emerging scientific applications”
