Custom qualityTech gets hands-on

At Picturae we combine a dedication to cultural heritage with a passion for technology. We may design state-of-the-art digitization systems, but our true strength lies in mechanical ingenuity. We thrive in creative, inventive customization. An employee who orders their own circuit board because they want to continue working on a solution at home - that is Picturae. Inventive, hands-on, and enthusiastic.

Imagine PicturaOnno Zaman

Picturae, then without -e, was founded in 1997 by sculptor and photographer Onno Zaman. He built Picturae from a background in product photography, a proclivity for art and image, and a truly entrepreneurial heart. Picturae's roots are in Heiloo, the Netherlands. We quickly realized a need to display the collections that we were digitizing to the world. Our software team was established, and became the cornerstone of every service package. A decade later, Picturae began to attract international attention. Digitization projects in France, the UK and the United States definitively secured a global foothold for the company.
