US distributor title image

In October 2010, it was announced that Appogee (www.appogee.com) would become the exclusive USA distributor of Astute Graphics’ Phantasm CS plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator. In the time following that announcement, Appogee has proved to be an excellent service provider to their customers who purchased Astute Graphics’ products.

With both Appogee and Astute Graphics experiencing excellent growth throughout 2011, it became evident that our core markets were diverging. This has resulted in a mutual decision for Astute Graphics to once again sell directly to customers in the USA.

Astute Graphics will continue to support all customers who purchased Phantasm CS through Appogee.

We wish Appogee, especially Kristie, Tim and Caroline, our very best wishes as they continue to grow and build on their excellent reputation as Apple Specialists throughout the USA.
