The Tübingen-based company receives exclusive channel management rights in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH region) for Crowley microfilm and overhead scanners from the entry-level segment.
“Sustainable, fair and successful: This characterizes the more than 25-year partnership between Zeutschel and Crowley. The two companies currently operate as mutually beneficial partners – both as manufacturers and distribution partners – with very positive results. The new exclusive agreement strenghtens this,” says Jörg Vogler, Managing Director of Zeutschel.
And Chris Crowley, President and CEO of The Crowley Company adds: “Zeutschel has long been a close and valued partner in the marketing of solutions for digitization of cultural assets and preservation. Zeutschel has the strongest distribution network in the European microfilm market, and is the clear number one in terms of selling. We are all the more pleased that we have been able to further expand our sales cooperation.”
The Crowley Company exclusively distributes the Zeutschel range of large format book scanners in the US. In addition, Crowley is also the manufacturer of premier digital and analog microform scanners, duplicators and processors including the U.S. brands Mekel Technology, HF Processors and Extek Microsystems and the British brand Wicks & Wilson.
Zeutschel already has exclusivity on European-wide sales of Mekel high-performance microfilm scanners, which are marketed under the model names of OM 1500, OM 1600, OM 1700 and OM 1800.
In addition, Zeutschel now has exclusive channel management rights in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for the entry-level products, including the delta microfilm scanner, the OM7380 automatic film scanner and the new ODS overhead scanner, which will soon be launched as the Zeutschel neo.
