The company was founded in 2004 in Heidelberg as 'digilibri' by Arnoud de Kemp and Ingrid Maria Spakler with the vision to build a new Internet platform to offer "something different". After a year with experiments a prototype was successfully presented at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2006. On 13 September 2007 the company got its current name: digiprimo. Arnoud de Kemp and Ingrid Maria Spakler bring in a lot of experience with academic and professional publishing and with new media.
