Kofile

What Kofile does

Kofile Technologies, Inc. provides physical preservation, digitization, and AI-enabled document intelligence services for state and local government agencies in the United States. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the company operates from facilities in Sun Valley (CA), Washington (MO), and Greensboro (NC) with more than 600 employees, tracing its product lineage to Enduro Binders, Inc. (origins in 1878), Eastman Park Micrographics (acquired from Eastman Kodak in 2011), and a series of preservation-services acquisitions (Joseph J. Marotti Co., Brown's River Bindery, Louisiana Binding Service, Data Preservation Services, SeamlessDocs, EPM Lab Services, and HF Group's ECS Conservation in February 2026). Since 2020 it has been wholly owned by Audax Private Equity.

The company sells a four-pillar portfolio: physical preservation (cleaning, mending, deacidification, encapsulation), archival digitization (scanning, proprietary IMAGE PERFECT PRO image enhancement, metadata, OCR), access solutions and archival storage products (binders, boxes, plat cabinets, shelving), and the KleioSM AI document intelligence platform built on AWS with Amazon Bedrock. KleioSM adds natural-language search, generative AI summarization, multilingual interaction in over 90 languages, automated classification, and agentic workflow capabilities to the access layer.

The business model combines project-based professional services, multi-year subscription contracts for the Kleio platform, and recurring physical-product sales, all delivered through a direct consultative enterprise sales motion targeting government clerks, courts, assessors, municipal administrators, public safety agencies, and libraries/museums/archives. The company serves more than 3,000 government agencies across the U.S., with named deployments in Bexar County, TX ($18.5M preservation project), Los Angeles County, San Diego County, Hillsborough County, Pickens County, Virginia, Colorado, and others.
