History
Established in 1968 by Ray Schuhmann as a commercial photography studio, Kinetic transitioned into a comprehensive photography and graphic design agency, earning nationwide acclaim in advertising photography throughout the 1970s. For over five decades, Schuhmann has held the role of official photographer and archivist for the Kentucky Derby.
During the 1990s, Kinetic broadened its services to include custom Internet applications. By 2000, the organization redirected its core business from photography towards technology services, with the majority of income now stemming from software licensing, technical support, and digital offerings.
In response to increased market demand, Kinetic increased its workforce fourfold in 2011. Subsequently, in April 2013, it formed a strategic alliance with Foxiz B.V., a company based in the Netherlands, to bolster European market penetration and support for its translation management software.
