BST Detectable Products

BST Detectable Products are the original pioneers of metal detectable plastics for the food industry. First established in 1985 by Brian S Teasdale, a former senior engineer at British Bakeries, Brian was the first engineer to address the issue of plastic contamination in food in this way. I is with great pride that his initials are still represented by the ‘BST’ brand which is well known and respected in the food industry.

BST are best known for the BST DetectaPen Range. These metal detectable, x-ray visible, and antibacterial pens can be found in most food processing environments, preventing foreign body contamination across a variety of industries.

Many of BST's best-selling products are of their own design and produced locally. Other detectable products are distributed on behalf of other companies that are specialists in specific areas, such as PPE, safety knives and food grade lubrication. BST keep granular compounds and sheet detectable plastic and rubber materials in stock, ready to be sent to any manufacturing partners for stock production or bespoke projects.
