Library users in the U.S. have named Zeutschel ScanStudio Product of the Year at the 2023 Modern Library Awards. This was the first time the award was presented. In addition, the all-in-one digitization system received the Platinum Award for the third year in a row. The Zeutschel zeta self-service scanner also received the Gold Award. The Modern Library Awards are coveted and well-known beyond the USA because practical experience of library users with the products and solutions is the decisive award criterion. Zeutschel and its long-time distribution partner, The Crowley Company, are pleased with the awards, which included three additional Platinum Awards for its digitization services, as well as for the MACH Microfilm Scanner Series and the UScan Universal Film Scanner Series.
