About this vendor.
The IEEE MA-L registry lists a single OUI, 00:09:B9, assigned to "Action Imaging Solutions" at Kings Hall, St Ives Business Park, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, GB PE27 4WY — a St Ives, Cambridgeshire address that matches the current office of Colortrac Ltd, a UK manufacturer of large-format document, CAD, and photo scanners founded in 1989. Colortrac's own corporate history page states the company traded as "ACTion Imaging Solutions (AIS)" from late 1999 — after acquiring ANAtech and Tangent Imaging Systems — until reverting to the Colortrac name in December 2003, which lines up with an OUI registered under that trading name during the same window. Independent driver-archive listings for Colortrac/ANAtech/Tangent-branded large-format scanner hardware corroborate that this was a genuine scanner manufacturer rather than a bare shell registration, and the line of business continues today under Colortrac, now part of Global Scanning. No security incidents, CVEs, or malware are associated with this OUI or vendor.
