Where Innovation Took Flight

Atex, founded in the USA in 1973, pioneered electronic composition systems for magazines and newspapers, using a terminal-server paradigm with proprietary hardware and software. By the mid-80s, Atex systems were widely adopted across America and Europe.
Today, the demand for reliable, fast, and quality information has never been greater. Atex, with its strong legacy and future-focused perspective, is equipped to meet this need. As part of Constellation Software, a global leader and “lifetime investor,” Atex has the resources to navigate challenges while supporting major publishers worldwide. Our platforms empower newspapers, websites, magazines, and broadcasters to deliver news quickly and effectively, aligning with the innovation-driven vision shared by our clients.
In these transformative times, journalism is evolving, and so are the tools required for content production. Atex is ahead of the curve, offering solutions that anticipate future needs today. With a global presence, we stay ahead of information trends, enabling efficient and innovative media production in a rapidly changing landscape.
At Atex, we see the future as an opportunity to achieve more with the same resources, combining innovation and efficiency. This is the challenge for contemporary and future publishers, and we’re here to help them succeed.
