Archroma is expanding its European reach through a newly announced partnership with Stuttgart-based Lilienweiss, which will begin distributing Archroma Color Management solutions across the continent starting January 2026.
Under the agreement, Lilienweiss will handle regional distribution and produce custom color standards, giving brands, retailers and suppliers faster access to Archroma’s full portfolio — including the award-winning Color Atlas by Archroma — while cutting lead times and shipping costs through a locally embedded team of specialists.
Chris Hipps, Head of Archroma Color Management, said: “Archroma and Lilienweiss share the same vision: helping brands, designers and retailers significantly reduce the time and costs associated with developing colors. By offering direct, local access to our solutions in Europe, we enable customers to win in their markets while minimizing environmental impact. Working with a trusted partner like Lilienweiss is a win-win for brands and their suppliers.”
The companies say the expanded service will give European customers faster, more sustainable and more accurate color development — streamlining the path from creative concept to mill execution, and ensuring design intent is faithfully reproduced.
Peter Maier, CEO and Head of Color Management at Lilienweiss, highlighted the strategic advantage of the company’s location and technical setup. “With our unique setup in Stuttgart, and home to the only textile color management service provider in Europe with both a dyeing laboratory and color standard production, Lilienweiss is closely connected to the inspiration, creativity and production teams of Europe’s fashion, home and textile industries,” he said.
“Together with Archroma, we now offer the world’s largest network for color management solutions, including color development, validated color standards, digital and hardcopy color libraries, and onsite technical support. We are proud to be a partner of Archroma Color Management.”
