What Artisti group does

Artisti AS is a Norwegian B2B supplier of branded profiling and promotional products, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Oslo with a 2025 expansion into Malmö, Sweden. The company serves large organizations across Norway — including DNB, Gjensidige, Elkjøp, TINE, Norrøna, Tekna, Oslo kommune, Fagforbundet, and Amnesty International Norge — providing a full-stack offering that spans concept, design, custom product development, multi-method logo branding, e-commerce storefronts, climate accounting, and third-party logistics. Its proprietary technology backbone is built on customized Magento 2 storefronts connected to client ERP/WMS systems, supporting OCI punchout, SSO login, and Norwegian payment rails (invoice, EHF, Mastercard/Visa, Vipps). In-house capabilities include multiple branding technologies (silk screen, transfer, pad, circular, sublimation, laser engraving, embroidery, patches, embossing) and product-level CO2e footprint calculation aligned with the GHG protocol.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time product sales (profiling merchandise, custom-developed goods sourced from Asian factories), recurring e-commerce platform and managed logistics contracts, and project-based design/branding work delivered via the sister company Stem Agency. Logistics and warehousing are operated in partnership with Mediehuset Andvord, and circular-economy services (textile recycling, upcycling) are layered through partnerships with Norsk Tekstilgjenvinning, Fretex, and Neutral. The company sells primarily through relationship-based enterprise field sales targeting organizations with large employee, customer, or member bases, and pricing is custom-quote based rather than publicly listed. Artisti is a privately held company within the Inference-gruppen holding structure, with reported standalone 2025 revenue of 168.4 million NOK (up 41% from 2023), an AAA Dun & Bradstreet credit rating, equity ratio above 50%, and top-tier EcoVadis and ISO 9001/14001 certifications.
