Breaking down barriers since 1985

"Historically, the most advanced, state-of-the-art design tools have been prohibitively priced, with access being limited to engineers based within the few companies that could afford them. The Altium vision – unchanged since the company's inception – is to break down these barriers to innovation and technological advancement and provide every engineer and system designer with easy access to the best possible design tools. This is the driving force behind why our company was founded and is still the vision that guides our strategies today and into the future."

- Nick Martin, CEO, Altium Limited

Altium's vision

Altium recognizes that the engineer is the quiet achiever, the unsung hero, the one who drives significant change and fosters the technological advancement of our society. Our mission is to know and understand the engineer, to help him or her succeed. We strive to create products that make the engineer as powerful, productive and effective as possible. We want to make things easier for the engineer in any way we can.

To date, this vision has been achieved through a consistent focus on developing desktop software tools that cover a broad range of electronic design technologies and that are easy to learn, use and afford.

Our ongoing goal is to develop, market and support desktop computer software products and technologies that help all electronic engineers and designers to turn their design ideas into products in the easiest and most productive way.
