Established in 1996 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, the company has garnered a stellar reputation over its more than 25 years of operation, collaborating with renowned entities such as ILM, DNEG, Pixar, and Walt Disney Animation Studios. Its innovative software, including Mari, Katana, and Nuke, has been instrumental in the creation of breathtaking visual effects and animations for numerous award-winning films.

With an indispensable role in every VFX Academy Award-winning film of the past decade, Foundry's impact on the industry is undeniable. The company's proven track record and esteemed status have led to The Carlyle Group making a Private Equity Round investment in the company on 14 March 2011.

This widespread reach affirms the company's commitment to collaborating with creative leaders worldwide, solidifying its position as an industry frontrunner in addressing complex visualization challenges and turning exceptional concepts into reality.
