ORIGIN ET PROFILE Founded in 1976, initially as a service provider to the industry, we have expanded into prevention and our own designs, establishing ourselves firmly in the field of Close-up Detection for works or art, in which we are pioneers. Based in Wavre, 30 km to the south of Brussels and the crossroads of Europe, the company is the European leader in discreet alarm systems for the prevention, protection and display of works of art for exhibition to the public. It is internationally renowned for its design of electromagnetic cocoons for the protection of our cultural heritage. It works on the principle of creating an invisible aura around the piece to be protected. CODINE’s technology is the fruit of 20 years of research and experimentation conducted in an industrial environment, to protect personnel exposed to dangerous machinery and in museums to detect attempts to vandalise objects on exhibition. CODINE designs, develops, manufactures and distributes a vast panoply of electronic solutions to combat malevolent actions against works of art and valuables exhibited to the public, including preventive and dissuasive detection, and against removal. Its designs lead the field and are used by the largest museums in the world, including the Louvre, the Crown Jewels, etc... Internationally renowned, CODINE is present in the largest museums and edifices. Since the first of September 2006, CODINE has moved to: 7c, av. Newton, ZI Nord de Wavre, (Belgium).
