The company has 56 members of staff and sells digital printers by HP and Canon, also supplying end users with the relevant peripherals and consumables throughout the UK & Ireland.

"The cooperation with ArtSystems is a classic win-win situation for us," said Board member Stefan Zinn from Neschen AG in Bückeburg. "ArtSystem are one of the leading and established distributors of large-format imaging and printing solutions. They are well positioned in the UK & Ireland and have an excellent dealer network at its disposal. As a company, Neschen AG will also be able to benefit from this with its diverse range of digital print products."

ArtSystems is implementing a seamless transition as the UK&I system suppliers and solution provider and will also be taking over Neschen's UK&I sales team. "That is a big advantage for us as it means we automatically acquire the necessary product knowledge concerning Neschen materials right from the start," said Steven Hawker, Managing Director of ArtSystems in Nottingham. "This ensures a continuation of the customer focus and high standard of service and thanks to the close cooperation, availability of Neschen media is also guaranteed."

For those customers in the UK&I wishing to work with Neschen materials, the situation remains virtually unchanged, with Sarah Janes heading the newly formed Neschen Supplies Division at ArtSystems as Divisional Manager. This ensures existing customers have continuity of contact. The Neschen brand can still be accessed via the Internet at www.neschen.co.uk or by calling the new Neschen Supplies Division of ArtSystems on 01268 722405. From July, Neschen products will be on the ArtSystems' main website www.artsystems.co.uk with a new dedicated Neschen website with full ecommerce functions going live in August.
