Artwork Systems announces 2.1 million USD order intake during Graph Expo

Artwork Systems Group N.V., a provider of pre-press software, has announced excellent sales results at the Graph Expo trade show in Chicago, Illinois, from October 15-18, 2006. Order intake amounted to 2.1 million USD during the four days show, which is a success beyond expectations and reflects ‘an industry on the rebound in the USA’, according to a statement.

During the show, visitors were able to get the first US look at a huge breadth of product offerings such as Odystar Packaging, Equinox and version 7 of Enfocus PitStop. After a slow summer period, the revenue generated from these sales will contribute to a good start of the first quarter of the new fiscal year that started on October 1, 2006.

Guido Van der Schueren, chairman of the board, commented: ‘We were not very optimistic, but this was beyond anything that I expected. Customers are digging deeper to gain an understanding of the systems; they are pushing us hard to show the numbers. We expect this trend to continue.’
