Founded on a commitment to preserving and sharing the world’s cultural heritage, our journey began in 1974 with a focus on microfilm. Now, over 50 years later, we have evolved into a leader in preservation and conservation, proudly serving as the exclusive Fujifilm reseller for the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region and manufacturing and distributing consumables and equipment worldwide.
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, the Grand Master of art, engineering, and creativity, our approach combines a profound respect for history with the forward-thinking innovation essential to safeguarding it for future generations. This spirit of mastery drives us to reinvent how history is captured, experienced, and shared. Our high-end digital capture and preservation studios blend artistry with state-of-the-art technology, ensuring that legacies endure for centuries to come.
