IT EN Our company When working with colours, nothing must be left to chance. However, new ideas often arise from fortuitous happenings, accidents during processing and crossovers with appealing new trends. This is the spirit behind garment dyeing, which is our speciality. INTEX was launched 30 years ago by great colour enthusiasts. It has grown from a small craft firm to a key player in the fashion district, thanks to its combination of distinctive technical dyeing capabilities and its advanced approach to industrial process organization. Our laboratory is equipped with highly sophisticated technology to support our production and research efforts. We strive to ensure that our working processes are healthy and our working environments are safe, because we want to become a flagship for eco-sustainability in the industrial dyeing sector. The laboratory Thanks to the huge experience and technical awareness that we have built up over the years, as well as bringing to life designers’ ideas in our laboratory, we can also inspire them by suggesting innovative dyeing solutions and cutting-edge finishing techniques. We have introduced ground-breaking laboratory technologies and adopted a “right the first time” philosophy by automating every single stage in the dyeing process. Each procedure (such as weighing the powder, preparing and measuring the solution, preparing the dye bath and sample dyeing) is carried out by machines and monitored by computers. Our technology allows us to ensure that our formulas can be reproduced, trace all of the dyeing processes carried out over time, eliminate human error and increase the quality of the final products. The processes Season after season, INTEX has shown the ability to be proactive and transform style concepts into customized dyeing processes for individual brands. We have honed completely original and innovative dyeing techniques that have made us famous in the fashion world. Our first success was our old process, which is renowned because of the outstanding final finishes and the unparalleled softness of the fabrics. We can offer cold dyes, mineral dyes and vegetable dyes. We have come up with original processes to produce distinctive, innovative effects. Verified quality INTEX is committed to the By Your Side scheme, which is based on synergy, customized research, continual improvement and ongoing training. The By Your Side trademark is a symbol of quality and safety that has been created to highlight the values of products and companies that take tangible steps to control the quality and safety of materials. INTEX displays the By Your Side trademark on its products because it subjects its procedures to strict laboratory testing to guarantee their quality and safety. The quality checks are based on the nature of the products. They may involve examination of the physical characteristics (dynamometric resistance to tensile stress and tearing, and resistance to abrasion and pilling) and tests of the colour fastness (during exposure to washing, perspiration, rubbing and light), thus guaranteeing LONG-LASTING QUALITY. In addition to the quality checks, the procedures are also assessed in Ritex laboratories to ensure that they meet the CHEMICAL SAFETY requirements of the legislation in force locally (REACH) and in the destination markets (GB18401, Egyptian Decrees 626 and 660/2011, KC mark and Japanese Law 112). Research The research area is INTEX’s crowning glory. In the last decade, it has created numerous innovative dyeing procedures and original finishing processes. Thanks to our investment in Research & Development, we can work alongside designers and offer new forms of chromatic expression for the latest fashions. We can transform classic dye effects with the addition of special resins. This has led to the creation of the following processes: · LINUX: a process with resist-dyeing effects and bleaching on thicker sections. · SURFACE: a process that allows two contrasting colour tones to be used. · B-NAPOLI: a process with dual-colour effects that involves the use of two completely different types of dyes. The research is continuing into original new BATIK, WORN and EVO SPRAYED effects, while the use of lasers and new technical equipment is opening up promising horizons, especially in terms of the environmental friendliness of the production processes.

We went abroad to offer additional services to customers that had opted to move all or part of their production set-up to Romania, but we always fully intended to keep our Veneto-based company in operation and for it to continue to prosper. It was a successful venture: INTERCOLOR SA was founded in Timisoara (Romania) in 1999 and it was able to take advantage of all of its parent company’s denim processing know-how. Following substantial investment, the new INTERCOLOR headquarters were opened in 2004, opening up countless possibilities for cotton and wool ready-to-wear garment dyeing and fabric finishing. Consequently, our customers can now take samples developed in Italy and reproduce them in Romania, fully transferring our formulas. In 2014, INTERNORD LAUNDRY SA was launched to serve the North of Romania. Within a short time, it aimed to replicate the organization of the production process and the type of services offered by INTERCOLOR.
