Archroma, a global leader in color and specialty chemicals, and the former textile, paper and emulsions businesses of Clariant, celebrates its new beginning in Indonesia at Indo Intertex 2014 with eco-advanced innovations to support the country’s transforming textile and garment industry.
With the motto: “We touch and color people’s lives, every day, everywhere,” Archroma’s value-adding textile dyes, chemicals and services promote the creation of exciting, quality textiles using more environmentally-friendly and sustainable manufacturing processes.
“Archroma’s solutions can help textile mills to meet the stricter emphasis on cleaner production and reduced water consumption by authorities, brand owners and retailers, at controlled cost levels and without compromising innovative performance features,” comments Till Heinichen, Head of Textile Specialties Business, South East Asia. “They open doors to creativity, quality and cost- and resource-efficiency, and we are looking forward to introducing these possibilities as a new standalone company to Indonesia’s evolving and competitive textile industry.”
