X-Rite is a global leader in quantitative color measurement and visual analysis. We pioneer innovative
solutions that are scalable from a single location to a global, multi-facility enterprise. The results
are improvements in productivity, time-to-market, and profitability.
Through
benchtop and portable spectrophotometers to non-contact systems, all accompanied by software solutions,
X-Rite Industrial Color and Appearance applications can be found in laboratory’s, on production lines
or in QA settings managing color reliably and accurately.
Automotive The
worldwide automotive market depends increasingly on a delicate balance of global supply networks for
both OEM and aftermarket components. To meet consumer demands products must exhibit consistent color
harmony. This requires accurate measuring technology between locations and at assembly sites. X-Rite
supplies instrumentation for color verification and quality assurance as well as software that allows
manufacturers to produce real-time readouts that expedite processing.
Paint
& Coatings From municipal infrastructure to classic architecture, paints and
coatings illuminate, preserve and protect. Globalization is producing a consolidated approach to product
development and application that also demands an equal response in color measurement. X-Rite continues
to introduce innovative technologies to this market, such as tools that match digital with physical
colors, color matching booths that offer real-time control, and portable instrumentation that allows
for quick, consistent verification of specific colors at multiple sites.
Plastics As
the green movement gains momentum, nanotechnology is driving applications for re-used and new forms
of plastic to replace wood and metals. These new materials are often used in consumer applications that
demand an array of complex colors to match emerging trends. X-Rite offers measurement tools that allow
manufacturers to precisely measure and communicate color in all forms and shapes of material along with
software that permits quick recalibration as trends shift.
Textiles New
fabric applications depend on satisfying a wide range of consumer attitudes. Color is the essential
component of this industry. Depending on fabric type and manufacturing source, specific colors can be
difficult to replicate. X-Rite provides a suite of color management systems that give the industry the
ability to accurately establish and match color preferences, and the flexibility to ensure accuracy
at each point in the manufacturing process.
