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.
