Who We Are

A group of passionate innovators

Our Story

In the 90s Bruno Garavelli and Pietro Pozzi worked together in the aerospace sector, but then followed different paths.

In 2011, another case of contaminated food raised once more the question of the importance of food safety.

On a scrap of paper, they started scribbling their ideas.

At that time detection technologies did not meet all the requirements needed to ensure a quality and efficient production. To achieve a zero-defect target in the quality control industry, the technology needs to be cutting edge.

A passion for innovation and a spirit of entrepreneurship have done the rest!

A new generation of X-ray inspection systems was born, and in January 2011, a first European patent deposited.

Xnext was founded in February 2014, as a so-called “knowledge-intensive start-up”. Today, we are a team of 50 passionate, visionary and innovative professionals with the ambition to have people every day live healthier and travel safer.
