In 1999The production of picture frames made of steel and stainless steel is successfully integrated into the display locksmith's shop. Today they are known as "manufactur steel picture frames of the special ART".

1998The first Internet presence is created and attracts a great deal of attention.

In 1996M.A. is awarded the DesignPlus prize at the AMBIENTE in Frankfurt for the patented "Federmatic" picture hook.

In the course of consistent development, the company sets up its own case sewing and display metalworking shop with a modern powder coating facility.

This makes it possible to react flexibly to customer wishes and to realise innovations quickly. Where it makes sense, production is taken over by efficient partners.

In1992The company is transformed into ASP-Galeriebedarf GmbH. The company specialises in picture hanging, gallery displays and presentation covers.
