Première Vision Paris marked a significant moment for Alchemie Technology, as we joined Acatel on the show floor to present a new approach to textile dyeing and finishing, that is designed for industrial scale, operational efficiency, and real production impact.
Throughout the three days in Paris, conversations consistently centred on a shared industry challenge, how to deliver precise, high-quality colour while reducing complexity, cost, and environmental burden, especially on knit fabric. At the Acatel Innovation Booth, Alchemie demonstrated how its proprietary digital dyeing technology enables controlled, repeatable colour application with minimal resource input, addressing both performance and productivity demands.
“For a technology company, you have to work with a strong partner who is already in the market,” said Dr. Alan Hudd, CEO and Founder of Alchemie Technology, speaking at Première Vision. “Acatel is doing exactly the things we’re interested in. Together, we set out to deliver a digital, low-carbon, no wastewater dyeing process that operates with jet precision and does it in seconds, not hours.”
During the event, Dr. Alan Hudd had the chance to speak with Helder Rosendo, General Manager of Acatel, discussing the practical applications of the technology on knit fabrics and aligning on next steps for the collaboration. The event also formally marks the beginning of Alchemie’s knit with Acatel, a partnership grounded in shared technical ambition and a clear pathway to industrial deployment. By combining Alchemie’s precision application technology with Acatel’s expertise in textile finishing, the collaboration aims to accelerate the transition from innovation to implementation.
Première Vision provided an invaluable platform to engage with mills, brands, and technology partners who are actively seeking scalable alternatives to conventional dyeing and finishing processes. The response reinforced a growing industry appetite for technologies that move beyond sustainability narratives and deliver measurable operational value.
As we move forward, this collaboration with Acatel represents a key step in Alchemie’s strategy to support manufacturers with next-generation dyeing and finishing solutions, designed not just to meet today’s challenges, but to future-proof textile production.
This is only the beginning. More to come as our knit with Acatel continues to develop.
