Daler-Rowney Information

Our reputation as a manufacturer of the finest art materials dates back 240+ years. Here at Daler-Rowney, we have been inspiring creativity since 1783 and our aim is to enable everyone to be creative. In 1983, the Daler Board Company purchased the George Rowney Company to become Daler-Rowney Limited, as it’s known today. In their own specialist areas of manufacture, both companies led the development of fine artists' materials in the United Kingdom for many years. The combined heritage of both companies, the manufacturing sites in the UK & Dominican Republic, and the Daler-Rowney name has become synonymous with consistent quality to artists throughout the world. In 2016, Daler-Rowney became part of the FILA Group. All brands from the FILA portfolio are available through Daler-Rowney in the UK including Giotto; Giotto be-bè; DAS; Lyra; Arches; Canson; Strathmore; Princeton; Maimeri; Ferrario; and LUKAS. In addition, Daler-Rowney sells UK-specific brands that include Scola, Creativity Backgrounds, and Creativity Inspired. Our Vision Artists are at the core of everything we do.
