We Can Talk About Responsibility. But We Prefer to Take it.
Digitization determines our lives: everything is getting faster, smarter and growing in digital spheres. A change we not only welcome, but actively promote, while always keeping an eye on what matters most: people and nature.
That is why we merge sustainability, innovation and sociality. We? We are an international, multicultural team which not only thinks progressively, but can also express that in more than 12 different languages. We are rooted in Bad Nauheim (in Hesse) – but at home all over the world. We think that anyone who wants to celebrate practical success should not have to rely on gray theory, but have an opportunity shape the present and future. In our case digitally. We are the symbolic interface between the analog and the digital world and make information accessible to the masses.
The main focus is not only on being efficient, but also on acting economically. For example, the energy consumption of our devices is inherently low, so that we make an active contribution to environmental protection. But that’s not all. We also put great emphasis on sustainable production. Specifically, this means manufacturing and production directly at our site in Bad Nauheim – and working with regional partners so that in the end our devices not only meet the highest standards, but are also durable and sustainable. An advantage for the environment, but of course for you too – because your scanner will last. But we don’t just give our best in the area of environment and usability – we also achieve great things in our immediate surroundings. Analog, and not digital – by getting involved in regional projects and associations.
WHAT DEFINES US
9 out of 10 of the biggest libraries worldwide use book2net scanners.
For good reasons:
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
Out 71/150-megapixel cameras are considered master pieces among specialists. Renown libraries, archives, and museums accompanied the development with their expertise. This close cooperation with our customers makes the quick and innovative development of new technologies possible.
SUSTAINABILITY
We produce on site in Bad Nauheim and purchase 90% of our materials from regional suppliers. We thereby guarantee the quality and longevity of our products, which are also characterized by their low energy consumption and can be sustainably upgraded. An investment that pays off, for our environment and our customers.
USER INTERFACE DESIGN
Most of our devices can be installed by the customer. The use of uniform, context-sensitive operator software reduces the necessary training to a minimum and offers the option of conveniently handling maintenance, software updates or upgrades remotely.
EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE
As one of the pioneers in the field and an owner-managed company, we have been developing cameras and scanning systems since 1958. More than 20,000 installations in over 40 countries and 3800 libraries, archives, and museums speak for themselves with regard to our position in the digitization technology market..
ONE PROVIDER ONLY
Our highly skilled team combines specialist knowledge from a wide variety of areas. We offer our customers an unbeatable all-in-one concept from a single source: Research & Development, Production & Manufacturing, Consulting & Sales, Hardware & Software, and Installation & Service. Quality made in Germany, directly from the manufacturer.
PASSION AND COMMITMENT
As a manufacturer of scanning technology, we are proud to contribute to the preservation and digital development of our cultural assets. We do this out of conviction and with passion. That is why we do not make any compromises – neither with our devices nor with the quality they deliver.

SPONSORING
We are at home in the world and rooted in Hessen – that is why we are committed to promoting sports, education and culture in the region
Hessian sports talents such as Kathrin Klaas (shot put, Frankfurt) and Sarah Vogel (pole vault, Seligenstadt) are part of our sponsorship program for athletes. Bad Nauheim is not only connected with our company history for over 60 years, but also with the families of our employees, some of whom are now employed in the second generation. We therefore also invest in the education of youth and support projects of the Ernst Ludwig School (Erasmus +, technical and medical equipment). In the cultural sector, we are involved in the reconstruction of the Bad Nauheim windmill in order to restore this historical landmark to its former glory. We support the Bad Nauheim City Archive by sponsoring a book scanner to digitize its holdings and to move towards a digital and paperless administration.
