According to Cheri Baker, director of communications, the company handles a variety of digitization brands. “Worldwide, we distribute our own manufactured scanners — Crowley, Mekel Technology and Wicks and Wilson brands — and those of highly respected partners in the imaging industry including Avision, IMAGELINK, InoTec, Qidenus and Zeutschel among others. We also use these scanners in our services division to digitize, record and archive collections from libraries, universities, museums, corporations, government entities and others.” This work has led to a spectrum of global clients, including well-respected institutions such as the Library of
Congress, the U.S. National Archives, the Smithsonian, the United States Holocaust Museum and many others. “Our support services division rounds out the full lifecycle of digitization, encompassing the technical support of the equipment we represent as well as custom software engineering and hardware manufacturing solutions for digital imaging,” Baker said.

While much of the Crowley workforce that reports to Westview is local to Frederick, staff travels from Gettysburg, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., underscoring its central location.” Working with St. John Properties’ in-house designer allowed Crowley to make adjustments to their floor plan. “Crowley is the typical flex user in that we have a mix of office and warehouse needs; St. John Properties was able to configure our spaces in ways that perfectly matched our needs. Over time we have also made renovations to our facilities, and the St. John team has been able to help plan and manage these in such a way that it was not disruptive to business and eliminated downtime.”
