 EC
Pigments was formed in July 2000 with the integration of European
Colour (Pigments) Limited and Roma Color Inc. The company
can trace its origins back to the 19th century.
The Company is a global supplier of organic pigments. We promote
and sell our products through our extensive network of agents and
distributors. Sales to the United Kingdom and USA are carried out
on a direct basis.
EC Pigments produces organic pigments for the printing ink, plastics
and coatings markets. For a number of years the business focussed
almost exclusively on the printing inks market but more recently
has found success in plastics and coatings areas.
The product range consists of classical azo pigments, metal salt
azo pigments, naphthol pigments and basic dye complex pigments.
Our products find their way into printing inks and especially into
printing inks for packaging applications.
EC Pigments invests a large percentage of sales revenue on new product
development. This commitment has led to market leading products
which have fuelled our growth.
The Company has sought to incorporate all of the best practices
with respect to customer service, sales and technical support, but
without losing the speed of response required by its customers.
Flat management structures and extensive use of information technology
have allowed the Company to grow its market share without losing
business agility. This process of seeking continuous improvement
to all processes within the business has been one of the key reasons
for our success.
Pigments are produced at our two European and one American manufacturing
facilities. The Company employs approximately 200 people.
The Company takes its environmental and ecological responsibilities
seriously. Specific development programmes have been introduced
which will allow formulators greater pigment choice when environmental
or ecological considerations are to the fore. Active membership
of the British Colour Makers' Association, the Color Pigment Manufacturers'
Association and ETAD (Ecological and Toxicological Association of
Dyes and Organic Pigments Manufacturers) underlines this commitment.
