History
Established in 1987.
The seeds of ARS Video were planted in 1987, when Gloria and her husband Art bought a film transfer machine from New York and started transferring people’s precious memories as a part time business. Knowing the value of preserving memories, they made a commitment to producing high quality products and maintaining a superior level of customer service. Over a period of 10 years, ARS Video went from «night time» work with one machine to a full-time business with several employees and ever expanding machines and equipment.
This is where the second generation of family joined the business. Gary, Gloria and Art’s son, acquired the company in the late 1990s. With Gary’s knowledge of computers and understanding of the changing technological environment, he brought ARS from analog to digital. He transformed ARS into a technological environment that offered faster services with improved quality at a reasonable price.
ARS opened its Beachwood location in 2009, run by Paul, Gary’s son.
