Image Access Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Congratulations to Image Access, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!

     Thomas Ingendoh, CEO and founder of Image Access, started the business in February 1994, with a vision of producing the best camera optics on the market. In the 25 years since, Image Access has become a technology leader in large format scanning.

      “We always focused on the core technology of scanners and grew from a camera manufacturer to today´s large format scanner manufacturer," Ingendoh says.

      Since its first graphic board with a full color resolution of 1600x1200, developed in 1994 and sold through Siemens Medical, Image Access has emerged to become a highly diversified wide format scanner vendor. It's product line ranges from sheet feed scanners up to 60" wide to book scanners and flatbed scanners in various sizes and a large number of OEM devices.

Where It All Started

     All development and manufacturing is located in Wuppertal, Germany, at the same address where it all started 25 years ago. Today, the company occupies more than 5000m2 of factory space and employs 65 people at its headquarters.

     In 2010, Rüdiger Klepsch joined Image Access and became COO, responsible for marketing and sales. Shortly after, the sister company Image Access LP was established in Chicago and is now serving the U.S., Canada and Latin/South America. The company´s products today are sold through a worldwide distributor and reseller network, which is supported by a 15 member team of highly experienced sales representatives.

Looking Forward

     Last year Image Access created a new market segment with the introduction of the WideTEK ART, which was met with enthusiasm in the museum, gallery and fine art communities. As a result, 2018 became the year with the highest revenues ever and in 2019, double digit growth is again expected.

     Image Access is a privately owned business, independent of investors or stock owners, which allows the management to plan ahead on a long-term basis and to ensure solid, healthy growth.
