Archroma’s Color Atlas Fully Integrated Into Shima Seiki Design System

Archroma, a global leader in sustainable specialty chemicals, and Shima Seiki, known for computerized flat knitting machines and digital design systems, have expanded their partnership. The SDS-ONE APEX design system and APEXFiz subscription software now offer the industry’s largest collection of colours for cotton and polyester, totaling 5,760 colour references.

This expansion includes 1,440 polyester colours from Archroma’s Color Atlas, in addition to the existing 4,320 cotton poplin colours. These colours cover a wide range of applications, from sportswear to home furnishings.

“Polyester remains the most popular choice across many textile segments where high performance is a must. Users of Shima Seiki’s advanced SDS-ONE APEX series platform will now be able to select from the industry’s largest library of colours for both cotton and polyester and, more importantly, trust that their choice can be reliably executed,” Chris Hipps, Head of Strategic Business Development, Archroma Color Management, said.
