Colour Lifecycle Management: A SDC Webinar from Natific recorded on 05 05 2022

We’ll be exploring the topic of colour lifecycle management with Andreas Roth, CEO and chairman of digital colour technology in textiles specialist Natific.

Andreas will talk about tools and services that can simplify the total colour lifecycle from end to end. Integrating such elements with existing processes has allowed leading apparel brands and retailers to cut four to six weeks’ lead time from development calendars, while increasing colour and quality compliance, over the last decade.

Andreas founded Switzerland-headquartered Natific in 2005 and has worked in the chemical industry for 25 years, specialising in textile dyeing finishing.

He will cover the subject areas of feasibility studies, colour development, compliance monitoring and independent certifications in this insightful session.
