Zychem Limited was established in 1991 with the development of the Swell Form machine (ZyFuse) and Swell Touch paper (ZyTex), which enabled the production of on-demand tactile graphics for the blind and visually impaired. Since then, Zychem has continued to advance its products and is recognized as a global leader in equipment and supplies for tactile graphics production.

Since its founding, Zychem has received numerous industry awards, including the prestigious Queen’s Award.
