Scanning

What Scanning does

Scanning.dk A/S is a Danish scanning and digitization company founded in 1972, headquartered in Albertslund in the Copenhagen metropolitan area. The company operates with 1-10 employees and serves public sector authorities, cultural institutions (museums, archives, collections), libraries, and other scanning companies across Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Its core offering spans five product groups: service bureau scanning, scanning equipment sales, microfilm equipment, consulting and project management, and technical service. The service bureau performs digitization of technical manuals, documentation, books, maps, drawings, microfilm (16mm, 35mm, roll film, microfiche, jackets, microfilm cards), and cultural heritage materials including historical books, manuscripts, letters, photos, and newspapers, with indexing and OCR text recognition.

The technology stack is centered on professional-grade scanning hardware from Zeutschel (OS 12000, OS 14000, OS 16000, Scanstudio, Chrome) and WideTEK (WideTEK 25, 36C, 44-48, 36 ART), meeting ISO 19264-1 and FADGI quality standards. Computer vision and OCR capabilities enable conversion of scanned images to searchable PDF or text format, with vector format conversion for drawings. Most products are manufactured at ISO 9001 certified factories. Secure burglar and fireproof storage cabinets are offered for customer materials during project execution.

The business model combines professional services revenue (service bureau scanning, consulting, project management, technical servicing) with hardware sales (Zeutschel and WideTEK scanners, microfilm equipment and accessories). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct phone and email contact, with the management team (CEO, General Manager, and Project Leaders) directly engaged in customer relationships. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are provided on request. The company functions both as a direct end-user provider and as a subcontractor to other scanning companies, offering specialized competencies and competitive pricing for overflow capacity or niche scanning tasks.
