Years of experience

The photographer C.A.P. (Kees) Iven is the founder of what is called Capi-Lux today. He opened his first specialist photography shop on 1 May 1894 in the city of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The company offered photographic equipment, supplies and services to professional and amateur photographers alike. And for many years, Capi had stores in cities across the Netherlands. During the last few decades, the company began to focus solely on airport retail. Over time, Capi-Lux (‘Capi’) has made a successful transition from traditional photography to a full assortment of electronics.

Today, we are headquartered in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands and are active with 50 airport stores throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
