Food safety challenges don’t stop at national borders – and neither do we.
If you’ve landed on the Detectamet Australia website, you might assume we only supply within Australia. In reality, our Sydney-based team supports food and pharmaceutical manufacturers right across the Asia Pacific region with metal detectable and X-ray visible products that help reduce contamination risks and support audit compliance.
This post explains exactly who we serve, what we supply, and how easy it is to order from anywhere in Asia Pacific.
Global food safety standards, delivered from Sydney
Detectamet is a global specialist in metal detectable and X-ray visible products designed for use in food and pharmaceutical production. Our products are engineered to be picked up by standard metal detection and X-ray inspection systems, helping to minimise the risk of foreign body contamination.
Our Australian operation is more than a local office – it’s a hub for the wider Asia Pacific region. From Sydney, we:
- Support customers across Australia, New Zealand and the broader APAC region
- Provide product advice tailored to local regulatory and retailer requirements
- Coordinate stock and shipping to ensure fast, reliable delivery across multiple countries
In short: if you work in food or pharma anywhere in Asia Pacific, our “Australian” website is for you too.
Where we supply: More than “just” Australia
When we say Asia Pacific, we really mean it.
From our Sydney base, we supply metal detectable and X-ray visible products to customers in:
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Singapore
- Malaysia
- Thailand
- Indonesia
- Philippines
- Vietnam
- Japan
- South Korea
- And many other markets across the region
Whether you’re a single-site bakery in New Zealand, a dairy processor in Southeast Asia or a multinational with multiple plants across APAC, our team is set up to support you.
No country is “too small” and no operation is “too complex” – if you need detectable products that support food safety and compliance, we’ll work with you to find the right solution.
Why APAC manufacturers choose Detectamet
Food and pharmaceutical manufacturers across Asia Pacific choose Detectamet because our products are designed around real-world production challenges.
1. Support for audits and compliance
Our detectable products help support HACCP plans and a range of global and local standards, including:
- BRCGS
- SQF
- Retailer-specific codes of practice
- Internal corporate standards for foreign body control
Using dedicated metal detectable and X-ray visible tools makes it easier to demonstrate control of plastic and rubber components to auditors and customers.
2. Reduced risk of foreign body contamination
Our products are made using materials that are optimised for detection. That means that if a piece of a pen, cable tie, scraper or other tool breaks off and enters the product stream, your detection systems are more likely to identify it.
Typical benefits:
- Reduced risk of product recalls
- Greater confidence in your foreign body control measures
- Better protection for your brand and your customers
3. Consistency across multiple sites
Many companies in Asia Pacific operate multiple sites, sometimes across multiple countries. Standardising on Detectamet products means:
- The same detectable tools across plants and regions
- Simpler training and procedures
- Easier specification management when working with auditors and customers
What your operators use in Sydney can match what your teams use in Auckland, Bangkok or Manila.
4. Designed for hygiene and durability
Our products are developed with food and pharma environments in mind:
- Non-porous, easy-to-clean surfaces
- Robust designs that withstand regular use and cleaning
- Options in a range of colours to support colour-coding by line, allergen, zone or process
You’re not just getting “detectable plastics” – you’re getting tools designed to survive the demands of production.
Popular metal detectable products for Asia Pacific sites
We supply a wide range of detectable and X-ray visible products. Here are some of the most popular categories APAC customers order from our Australian hub.
Metal detectable & X-ray visible pens
Pens are essential in any production environment – and a common foreign body risk. Our detectable pens are:
- Available in multiple colours and ink types
- Designed for comfort and grip, even with gloves
- Made from metal detectable and X-ray visible materials
These are ideal for production records, QA checks, labelling and general use in high-risk areas.
Detectable workwear & PPE
We offer a range of detectable personal protective equipment to help control small items that can easily be lost:
- Metal detectable earplugs
- Detectable beard snoods and hair nets
- Detectable gloves and other PPE options
These products help you control foreign body risks from essential protective items.
Detectable tools for handling, mixing and storage
From raw ingredient handling to finished product, we supply robust detectable tools including:
- Scoops, shovels and paddles
- Spatulas and scrapers
- Buckets, bins and utensils
This helps ensure that the tools used in your process are both hygienic and detectable.
Detectable tags, cable ties and identification products
Clear identification is essential in busy plants, especially where multiple languages are in use. We provide:
- Metal detectable cable ties for bundling and securing
- Detectable tags and labels for lines, equipment and ingredients
- Solutions that support visual management and traceability
Combined with colour coding, these products can help simplify training and reduce errors across teams.
