About Textilcolor
Textilcolor AG, headquartered in Sevelen (CH), develops and produces textile auxiliaries, textile dyes and finishing technologies for the entire textile value chain. The product range comprises reactive, vat, disperse, acid and metal-complex dyes as well as textile auxiliaries for dyeing, printing and finishing, complemented by its own technology brands such as pyroshell (permanent flame protection for synthetic fabrics), RepelPro/EcoPhob (fluorine-free hydrophobisation), Dry3, iLoad, enerG and coolcolors. The company's own production in Sevelen uses, among other things, synthesis plants with pressure reactors in pharmaceutical-enamel design, a high-pressure homogeniser, dry-chemical formulation technology as well as plants for coating pastes and high-viscosity products; every batch is tested. The company operates its own research, development and application laboratories including a digital printing laboratory and a production pilot plant, and offers consulting, analytical services and training. With subsidiaries in Germany, Liechtenstein, Morocco, Belarus, Turkey, Brazil, India and Italy, Textilcolor supplies customers in over 47 countries, primarily in textile finishing and functional and protective clothing.
