About ArtSystems

History of ArtSystems

ArtSystems Limited started trading in January 1986 with the aim of providing a first class personalised distribution service to the CAD/CAM and Document Management markets. In 1995, Managing Director David Thomas and Sales Director Steve Hawker completed a successful management buy-out of the company.

In 2008 ArtSystems is one of the most successful specialist distributors in the country.

Committed to knowledge

Art’s expertise in large format CAD solutions naturally progressed into the large format graphics & signage markets, where there was a need for specialist knowledge of digital printing processes in the distribution channel. We have dedicated in-house account managers and product specialists, who undergo continuous product sales and customer care training to ensure that your business needs are met efficiently and reliably. In 1994 ArtSystems earned the ISO 9002 quality standard certificate and has maintained high standards in its quality management systems year on year.

Committed to relationships

Throughout the years, ArtSystems has developed strong relationships with leading manufacturers of CAD, Graphics and Signage hardware, software and consumables in order to bring the best products and solutions to our dealers.

We pride ourselves in working closely with the various manufacturers to help develop new and innovative products that end-users have an actual need for.

We encourage open channels of communications throughout the company and welcome suggestions and comments on how we may improve our services to you.

Committed to solutions

ArtSystems have been exclusive distributors for a number of product lines where management and training of the channel and specialisation is key to the success of the line in the UK market. The trend in the industry today is moving away from “box-shifting” to solution providing. ArtSystems were an early adopter of this philosophy and have invested in products that complement each other and provide a complete solution package to our dealers, which are tested and ready to go.

Committed to service

We recognise that our dealers and channel members may need training on these products and may require demonstrations to be performed in order to win sales. We have on-the-road product specialists that will train and demonstrate products for this purpose. Should you wish to invest in specialist demonstration product, we will train to a proficient level to allow you to increase your product portfolio and profit margin, and expand your sales teams knowledge and expertise. These are services that we believe are important for every dealer to be able to offer and we endeavour to make this level of service possible for all our customers.
