The ARRI Philosophy

For over 100 years, ARRI has been fashioning tools that expand creative possibilities for filmmakers and other content producers. Our 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 our vision for the future continues to be driven by the needs of our customers. Being able to deliver the best user experience through innovative hardware products, customized Rental services, and integrated solutions is our greatest endeavor.

The uniquely wide range of innovative, reliable, and integrated camera and lighting tools provided by ARRI and our wholly-owned subsidiary Claypaky reflects the company’s holistic approach. Every piece of equipment is engineered and assembled under the highest quality standards and subjected to extensive testing before it can leave our facilities. Our highly experienced team is committed to top-notch precision, which results in products that deliver many years of faithful service.
