Coloreel returns to Texprocess with their revolutionary instant thread coloring unit

In Frankfurt, May 14-17 Coloreel will once again exhibit at Texprocess - a leading international trade fair for the textile industry.

In 2017 Coloreel won the prestigious Texprocess Innovation Award for outstanding new technology. Now they return to the fair with the world’s first digital instant thread coloring product, the Coloreel unit, fully industrialized and available to the market.

The Coloreel technology enables high-quality instant coloring of textile thread while in the textile production. The first product based on this technology is the Coloreel 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.

Texprocess is the place where the latest machines, plants, processes and services for the manufacturer of garments and textile and flexible materials are presented. Techtextil, the leading international trade fair for technical textiles, takes place at the same time.

”We return to Texprocess because it is one of the most important fairs for the textile industry with huge international impact. The fair attracts a lot of visitors who are looking for state of the art technologies and products. All who will visit our stand will understand why Coloreel is the future of embroidery”, says Magnus Hellström, VP Sales & Marketing at Coloreel.

At the Coloreel stand, visitors will be able to experience live demonstrations of the revolutionary thread coloring unit, producing uniquely colored embroideries never seen before. Coloreel will also explain how the technology and process work by showing the inside of the unit.

“Coloreel received the 2017 Texprocess Innovation Award for its instant thread coloring technology. Consequently, we are delighted that the company is making such an extensive presentation of its innovations at Texprocess. This shows that Coloreel has identified a market potential and succeeded in developing a successful and marketable product“, says Michael Jänecke, Director Brand Management, Technical Textiles and Textile Processing, Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH.

Coloreel will demonstrate the many possibilities of the Coloreel unit at Texprocess 14-17 May, at stand C42, Hall 5 the visitors will be able to watch the revolution live and also meet Coloreel distributors.

Coloreel Group AB files for bankruptcy

Coloreel Group AB, a pioneering Swedish technology company known for its instant thread dyeing technology, today announced that it has filed for bankruptcy. The decision comes after the company's inability to develop its business volume quickly enough and, related to this, secure the necessary financing.

“Action helps us change what we do!”

DAY 0 takes place deliberately before PERFORMANCE DAYS begins. It is conceived as a space for reflection, dialogue and active engagement — a moment to pause before the fair, rethink established systems and address sustainability not as a trend, but as a fundamental transformation challenge. Under the guiding metaphor “Turn the Tap Off”, DAY 0 focuses on root causes rather than symptoms, systemic change rather than isolated solutions, and collective responsibility rather than individual silos.

VAUDE eliminates PFAS from all products

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are now detectable worldwide – in drinking water, soil and the human body. These so-called “forever chemicals” are considered hazardous to health and potentially carcinogenic, as they do not break down and remain in the environment permanently. Despite these risks, PFAS are still used in a wide range of products. More than 15 years ago, VAUDE made a strategic decision to gradually eliminate PFAS from all product categories.
