Summary
Export oriented SME from the German federal state of Hessen has developed a high end book scanner for digitizing documents and works of art. The product has been successfully introduced in the domestic and several foreign markets. As a next step in their internationalisation strategy, the company looks for trade intermediaries / distribution partners with contacts to museums in Italy and South Korea under a commercial agreement.
Description
Founded in1958 in the small Hessian town Bad Nauheim, this German SME quickly became the leading producer and supplier of A0 format camera systems.
The year 2006 marked a decisive turning point in the company’s history, writing a new success story. The company entered the book scanner market by launching a whole new product range. They developed their first book scanner in collaboration with the British Library and the National Archives of Sweden, while pursuing a selective approach in their internationalisation strategy.
In 2015 they launched a high end camera with 71 mega pixel CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) area sensor technology. Securing the technical advantages of their scanners and opening new fields of application was the motivation behind the latest in-house development, the 71 mega pixel CMOS camera. The camera can be integrated in all existing scanners of the brand, enhancing their performance, resolution, and quality.
The unique multispectral camera can be used for the analysis of documents, artworks, and archival materials. As a system, the multispectral system bridges the gap between pure UV photography and infrared photography beyond 1000 nm. In this range, the camera works constantly with a resolution of 71 MP through high-resolution CMOS sensor technology. With the aid of the x71 Multispectral, numerous exposure sets in a wide variety of wavelength ranges can be generated and combined within a few seconds in fully automated processes in order to verify the genesis, authenticity or condition of the material.
