Artech Incorporated is a small to mid-sized firm that specializes in art handling, collection management, and related preservation within the transportation, logistics, and storage sector. The company serves art owners, collectors, and institutions seeking careful deinstallation, transport, storage, and preservation of artworks and collections, from single pieces to entire holdings. Based in Tukwila, Washington, and founded in 1977 by artists, Artech operates in the Pacific Northwest as part of the IAS family and emphasizes advanced preservation techniques and expert handling of art investments. Recent collaborations illustrate its role in conservation and logistics for cultural institutions and public artwork. For example, in 2021 the Seattle Public Library partnered with Artech Fine Art Services to deinstall a work and move it to a storage facility for assessment; in 2022 Artech collaborated with conservationist Corine Landrieu on a plan to repair and protect a sculpture relocated to its shop. The organization positions itself as a regional provider of art handling, storage, and collection management services grounded in preservation expertise.
