Arthur and Emily Widen took out a $1,500 mortgage to start Widen Engraving. Arthur’s experience working in the Madison newspaper industry paired with Emily’s financial support from her job in the insurance industry laid the foundation for Widen.
Widen Engraving received and transferred creative and marketing materials from type and photos onto plates, resulting in newsprint. This process helped inform and inspire the community.
Widen Colourgraphics received, composed, and converted creative and marketing content in the form of photos, illustrations, logos, and copy. We brought that content to life through printed catalogs and advertisements.

In 2007, we selected Amazon Web Services as the cornerstone for the Widen Collective®. Need arose for privacy, security, scalability, and access.
The Widen Summit brings digital asset management practitioners and Widen staff together to learn, share, and build relationships.
As the software side of the business booms, our office space needed to be renovated to foster the collaborative, cross-team culture that developed.
We've dedicated ourselves to high standards of democratic organizational design and leadership. These principles have shaped our culture and unique approach to HR.
From DAM and analytics to portals, web-to-print templates, and proofing and workflow, we integrate the tools you need to manage images, videos, audio, and creative files.
To further serve our customers around the world, we opened our first office outside of the United States. We’re excited as our service teams match the global reach of our software.
