Picture Hanging Systems - „Made in Germany“
Track & Slide® - About Us
Picture hanging systems Track & Slide® / Track & Wire®
The picture hanging systems Track & Slide® / Track & Wire® were originally developed by the art restorer Georg Hayde and engineer Ernst Frey. With these hanging systems, it became possible to transport, hang, fit, secure and store paintings without having to remove the hanging elements from the picture. Unique designs were created to reduce the risk of possible damage to artworks.
Track & Slide® and Track & Wire® products are recommended by art insurance companies. The high quality of our products, customer satisfaction and the recommendations given by experts form the basis of our success.
Track & Slide® and Track & Wire® picture hanging systems are used by museums, galleries and private collectors throughout Europe, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Israel, to the benefit of countless masterpieces.
In 2024, Track & Slide® became part of Artiteq, an international specialist in picture hanging systems. By joining Artiteq, Track & Slide® continues to build on its long-standing expertise in professional hanging solutions for museums, galleries, private collectors and other art professionals.
The original principles behind Track & Slide® remain unchanged: protecting artworks, reducing the risk of damage and making hanging, moving, securing and storing paintings as safe and practical as possible.
