Datacolor has announced that Coats plc, the global leader in sewing thread and needlecraft products, will implement the Datacolor CONDITIONER to maintain color consistency in its global operations. The CONDITIONER ensures color samples are consistent anywhere in the world by conditioning them at fixed temperature, and humidity prior to measurement.

As the world's largest textile and thread manufacturing company, Coats sells products in over 150 countries for industrial and home use. Throughout its 200-year history, the company has established a tradition of landmark innovations in technology and manufacturing processes, many of which have become global industry standards.

For the past four years, Coats has deployed Datacolor's industry-leading spectrophotometers to measure colors in various lighting conditions. With CONDITIONER, Coats will also expedite the development and production of thread coloration by eliminating variability factors caused by varying environmental conditions in more than 60 countries where it has operations.

“After extensive testing of different systems, Coats found that the Datacolor CONDITIONER was robust and reliable to support the rapid conditioning of our standard thread samples,” said Andrew Morgan, technology director for Coats plc. “In terms of cost and performance, we found CONDITIONER to be the best machine to meet the demands of our global operations, and are pleased to have a Datacolor as a supplier of both conditioners and spectrophotometers in our global locations.”
