One of 36 regional associations within FESPA’s global network, FESPA UK brings together companies from across the graphics, signage, and specialist print sectors in the UK, allowing them to share industry-specific knowledge and support other businesses in the wider community.

ArtSystems will offer specialist support and advice on a range of issues related to wide-format print, as well as promote FESPA UK campaigns. The company will also run a series of its own ‘Open Print Forums’ for FESPA UK members to expand and enhance their knowledge of wide-format print.

“We are delighted to join FESPA UK; it will be a big help in our planned engagement activities. We will support FESPA UK’s campaigns and will offer members access to our unique knowledge through our Open Print Forums,” ArtSystems’ Marketing Manager John Draycott said.

“As we do not sell to users, we can offer access to information without any of the sales pressure of a traditional show or open day. We are looking forward to getting the feedback from wide-format print users that can help us to influence both manufacturers and resellers to make their offerings more relevant.”

FESPA UK Managing Director Suzi Ward added: “We look forward to working with our newest partner member ArtSystems and we welcome their expertise and passion for all things wide-format. Our members are a great support to both the association and its print and signage members, helping to drive our events and initiatives forward and support businesses throughout the industry.”
