Target Tecnología

What Target Tecnología does

Target Tecnología S.A. is a privately-held Spanish security-solutions distributor and integrator, headquartered in Alcobendas (Madrid) and operating across mainland Spain and the Canary Islands through regional offices in Valencia, Málaga, Alicante, Zaragoza and Tenerife. The company sells, integrates, rents and services an "integral security" portfolio organised into Security & Safety (fixed and mobile X-ray inspection systems including the proprietary TARGET AUTOVAN 100XD, walkthrough metal-detector arches, trace explosives and narcotics detectors), Defensa (CBRNe detection, heavy autonomous robotics/UGV, autonomous surveillance drones, emergency and flooding equipment) and Drones (D-Fend Solutions EnforceAir counter-UAS system). Most of these products are sourced from foreign OEMs — including D-Fend Solutions, Bruker, Thermo Scientific, Symetrica, Viken Detection, Research International, DetectaChem, DOK-ING and Pitagone — and re-sold, installed and maintained under the Target Tecnología brand in Spain.

The customer base is concentrated in Spanish public-sector and regulated-c infrastructure buyers: ministries (Ministerio de Defensa, Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, Agencia Tributaria), regional governments (Comunidad de Madrid, Junta de Andalucía), national and regional security forces (Guardia Civil, Policía Nacional, Mossos d'Esquadra, Ertzaintza), airports and aviation (AENA, IAG, Grimaldi Lines), and critical-infrastructure operators (ENAGAS, Naturgy, Prado). Since 2021 the offering has been extended into cybersecurity and digital risk through a strategic alliance with Smart Human Capital (SmartHC), marketed jointly as a 360° security proposition. The business model combines equipment sales, short- and long-term rentals, specialised training and security consulting; revenue is not publicly disclosed.

The firm is family-controlled across two generations of the Rolandi family — Luis Rolandi Boned as Founding President, Gonzalo Rolandi as General Manager and Pedro Rolandi as Director General — and has been bootstrapped over roughly three decades with no disclosed external equity funding or public listing. It operates a formally certified integrated management system (UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015, UNE-EN ISO 14001:2015 and the Spanish Esquema Nacional de Seguridad), holds product-level TSA and ECAC accreditations on key X-ray lines, and participates in major Spanish industry events including Tecnosec+DronEXPO, FEINDEF 2025 and SICUR. The company markets itself around "30 years of innovation in security," although the official 1996 founding date is mildly inconsistent with a Luis Rolandi quote referencing 25 years of history.

Core offering

Target Tecnología distributes, integrates and services a portfolio of physical-security inspection and detection equipment — including X-ray systems (fixed, portable, mobile), walkthrough metal detector arches, trace explosives and narcotics detectors, CBRNe detection equipment, EnforceAir counter-drone systems, anti-ram vehicle barriers, radiological detectors, and heavy/autonomous robotics (UGVs, drones) — for airports, public administrations, critical infrastructure, defense and mass events in Spain. The hardware portfolio is wrapped by professional services in security consulting, equipment rental and specialized training, and extended into cyber/digital risk through a strategic alliance with SmartHC.

Product overview

Target Tecnología (Target Tecnología S.A.) is not a single software product but an integrated security portfolio distributed in Spain and marketed as a "full security" / 360° offering, organized into three product families plus three service lines. The Security & Safety family bundles the X-ray systems (small, medium/large package, Dual View, mobile TARGET AUTOVAN 100XD, and portable HBI-120), metal detector arches, trace explosives/narcotics detectors (Insight 200M, VPScan, MobileDetect) and special equipment such as Pitagone anti-ram barriers. The Defense family adds CBRNe (NRBQe) detection — chemical, radiological and biological sampling via SASS 2300/3100, AirPrep Cub, RadEye PRD4/SPRD and VeriFinder S100 — plus heavy autonomous robotics (DOK-ING UGV), autonomous SAM/SAM-T drones and emergency/camping equipment (FloodSax barriers, VAPOR VACUUM M-8). The Drones family is anchored by the EnforceAir / EnforceAir 2 counter-UAS system from D-Fend Solutions. These hardware pillars are wrapped by three professional service lines — security consulting, flexible equipment rental and specialized training — and are complemented through a strategic alliance with SmartHC for cybersecurity and digital risk services, marketed jointly as a 360° security model for airports, public administrations, critical infrastructure, defense and mass events.

Direct peers

• Astrophysics Inc. US-based manufacturer of X-ray inspection systems for cargo, vehicles and containers. Already listed as a partner brand on Target's site, it is also a competing OEM that could in principle supply Spanish end-customers directly, pressuring Target's distribution-led model.
• Prosegur: Madrid-headquartered global security group offering physical security, cash-in-transit and integrated security technology across Iberia and Latin America. Comparable to Target Tecnología as a Spanish-rooted security services and technology provider serving public-sector and enterprise clients, though at vastly larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Nuctech: Chinese global supplier of security inspection products (X-ray, CT, millimeter-wave, CBRNe) widely procured by customs, airports and governments. Competes head-to-head with Target Tecnología in airport, border and event security tenders across Iberia and Europe.
• Rapiscan Systems: US-based manufacturer of security inspection systems (X-ray, metal detection, trace) for airports, border security and critical infrastructure. Competes directly with Target Tecnología's X-ray and walkthrough metal detector portfolio in the Spanish public-sector market.
• Grupo Eulen Seguridad: Spanish security services and technology provider offering surveillance, guarding and integrated security solutions. Comparable to Target Tecnología as a domestic Iberian peer serving public administrations and critical infrastructure with bundled physical-security offerings.
• Smiths Detection: Global manufacturer of X-ray, CT, trace and CBRNe detection systems for aviation, ports, defence and critical infrastructure. Direct competitor to Target Tecnología's X-ray, trace explosives and CBRNe product lines, supplying end-customers that Target also serves in Spain.

Broad incumbents

• Thales: European defence and security major with a large X-ray, CBRNe and critical-infrastructure security portfolio competing in the same Spanish tenders as Target Tecnología, particularly around airports (AENA) and defence customers.
• Securitas: Swedish-headquartered global security services and solutions provider with broad guarding, electronic security and risk management offerings. Overlaps with Target's end-to-end security value proposition for enterprise and public-sector clients, though at vastly greater scale and scope.
• Johnson Controls: Global building technologies and security solutions provider (including Tyco-era product portfolio) offering integrated access control, video and intrusion for critical infrastructure. Adjacent to Target's access-control and critical-infrastructure security portfolio as a much larger global incumbent.

Emerging players

• D-Fend Solutions: Israeli developer of the EnforceAir counter-UAS platform distributed in Spain by Target Tecnología. Closely tied to Target through a strategic distribution partnership and joint marketing around EnforceAir / EnforceAir 2 deployments at airports, stadiums and critical sites.
