Janet and Shawn Richards co-founded Ink in 2003 in the UK, initially developing web-based departure control systems for Menzies Aviation.
In 2011, the company reincorporated in Spain, expanded to Colombia, and collaborated with airlines like Jet2.com and Copenhagen Airport. By 2018, Ink partnered with Radixx to power Radixx Go™ and, during the pandemic, diversified into health, digital identity, and blockchain. Ink opened a Serbian office in 2021 to expand its team, and in 2024, it entered the Saudi market through a joint venture with LPort, establishing Ink Arabia.
