Swedish innovative company Coloreel has entered a long-term partnership with the global electronics company Ricoh to create a groundbreaking thread coloring unit for the textile industry. Ricoh will develop and build one of the major sub-systems in the unit, based on its inkjet printing technology and Coloreel’s technology for colorisation. The company will build the sub-system for the colorisation process using their long experience in the world of printing and combine it with Coloreel’s new technology for colorisation.

The Coloreel technology enables high-quality instant coloring of textile thread while it is in the textile production. The first product to be launched based on this technology is a groundbreaking thread coloring unit that works with any existing industrial embroidery machine. By instantly coloring a white base thread during the embroidery production, Coloreel enables complete freedom to create unique embroideries without any limitations in the use of colors.
