Tom van de Wiel

After obtaining his Master’s degree in industrial design at Delft University, Tom founded Manualise with a fellow student in 2007. As the name Manualise suggests, the Dutch firm is in the business of producing product manuals, including instructional videos—with or without augmented reality. Manualise is located in the Dutch high-tech city of Delft—which is well known the world over for the development of very successful solar cars and the Milkmaid, a painting by its 17th-century inhabitant Johannes Vermeer. Manualise specializes in both universal graphics and multilingual texts. Among its customers are Electrolux, Leitz, Grundig, AEG, Schneider, Skil, and AKAI.
