What Product Inspection Group, Inc. does

Product Inspection Group, Inc. is a privately held Texas-based company that rents portable X-ray inspection equipment to manufacturers for in-house product contamination and defect detection. The company delivers the Anritsu 7534 (KXS7534AWCLE) X-ray system, a portable unit powered by standard 110 VAC with no additional utilities required, directly to customer facilities for on-site setup and operator training, enabling clients to inspect products without shipping them off-site. Core detection capabilities include foreign-object identification (ferrous and non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, glass, stone, bone, rubber, PVC, seashells), missing-product detection, shape detection, virtual weight checks, and package verification, with time/date-stamped reject images saved to USB for HACCP compliance and Ethernet connectivity to QuiCCA for quality-control data management. The business serves food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics manufacturers through a sales-led, event-driven go-to-market: customers submit an online rental request by industry and date, a representative confirms pricing, and the unit is delivered with setup and training on a flat daily rate. Revenue is generated through mobile X-ray equipment rentals and complementary demonstration and consulting services. The company is founder-led by Mark Shoemaker (President & Founder, 30+ years in packaging and 20+ years in X-ray/contaminant detection) with Steven McKnight (Senior Technician, certified for radiation site safety inspections), and operates as a small (1-10 employee) organization with a sister-company channel arrangement to PSI Packaging Services for capital equipment sales referrals.

Broad incumbents

• Ishida: Japanese manufacturer of weighing, packaging, and quality inspection systems including X-ray inspection for food industry. Comparable X-ray technology offering to food/beverage manufacturers but with broader product portfolio.
• Mettler-Toledo: Global leader in industrial weighing solutions with significant food safety/inspection product lines including X-ray, metal detection, and vision inspection. Competes with PIG in food inspection but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Bizerba: Provider of industrial weighing, slicing, inspection, and labeling solutions with X-ray inspection systems for food processing. Competes with PIG in food inspection while also serving a much broader industrial customer base.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific: Diversified scientific equipment and food safety analytics provider. Their product inspection division competes with PIG in X-ray inspection for food/pharma, though the broader portfolio dwarfs PIG's niche.

Direct peers

• Loma Systems: Designer and manufacturer of metal detection and X-ray inspection equipment for food processing and packaging. Targets the same customer use cases as PIG (foreign object detection, missing product, weight check) with similar Anritsu-class systems.
• Minebea Intec: Provider of industrial weighing, inspection, and X-ray systems for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Offers X-ray inspection directly competitive with the Anritsu 7534 used by PIG.
• Eagle Product Inspection: Manufacturer of X-ray inspection equipment specifically designed for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical contamination detection. Direct competitor offering similar Anritsu-class X-ray technology to PIG's customer base, though typically as equipment sales rather than mobile rentals.
• Fortress Technology: Manufacturer of metal detection and X-ray inspection equipment for food processing and packaging. Competes for the same contamination detection budget at food/beverage manufacturers that PIG serves via mobile rentals.
• Sesotec: Foreign body detection specialist offering metal detection, X-ray inspection, and sorting systems for food, plastics, and recycling industries. Comparable in addressing the same contamination detection pain points PIG solves.

Others

• Anritsu Infivis: Manufacturer of the Anritsu 7534 X-ray system that PIG rents out. As the OEM equipment supplier to PIG, Anritsu is the upstream enabler of PIG's business and a potential competitor if they move toward direct rental or service offerings.
