Global Presence
For 20 years, The Crowley Company has been the exclusive distributor of Zeutschel overhead scanners and archive writers in North America and Zeutschel has represented Crowley’s Mekel Technology brand of microfilm and microfiche scanners outside of North America. It is rare that the two companies get to showcase together on this scale. Crowley CEO Christopher Crowley states, “We are thrilled to demonstrate the expanse of both Crowley and Zeutschel product lines and imaging services to the international library community. Between both companies, we provide libraries across the globe with archival, back-office and patron scan systems to successfully complete any micrographic or digitization project.”
Both companies will be showcasing a number of new scanning systems relevant to public, private and archival libraries:
UScan+ HD Universal Film Scanner – The new 18 megapixel active pixel sensor array on the UScan+ HD is the highest in its scanner class. The latest addition to the UScan+ Universal film scanner (UF) series offers multi-format scanning capabilities with the familiar features of past UScan+ UF-Series models such as Interlibrary Loan (ILL) compatibility, rapid batch scanning and pay-per-use system compatibility.
