About ARRI:
For over 100 years, ARRI has been fashioning tools that expand creative possibilities for filmmakers and other content producers.
ARRI founding fathers, August Arnold and Robert Richter, were filmmakers themselves and therefore strove to achieve the highest standard in camera and lighting equipment. They understood first-hand the importance of image quality, ease of use, and reliability, and their focus was grounded on facilitating inspiring images and enabling artistic visions. These principles remain vital to ARRI today, and the vision for the future continues to be driven by the needs of the ARRI customers. Being able to deliver the best user experience through innovative hardware products, customized Rental services, and integrated solutions is ARRI’s greatest endeavor.
