BMS inaugurates Color Competence and Design Center in India

This enables customers to adapt quickly to trends, and explore new options for color, surfaces, geometries and design, while leveraging the company's global expertise and know-how of the local markets.

The Center in Greater Noida is the latest addition to BMS’s global network of capabilities. Other Color Competence and Design Center facilities worldwide are located in Newark (USA), Filago (Italy), Uerdingen (Germany), Map Ta Phut (Thailand), Shanghai and Guangzhou (China). The Color Competence and Design Centers are complemented with three Innovation Centers in Leverkusen (Germany), Amagasaki (Japan), and the Polymers Research and Development Center in Shanghai (China).

The Greater Noida facility is a one stop solution for customers offering four capabilities under one roof: a color competence center, including a color interaction room; flexible small-scale production and sampling, and pilot production; application development along the value chain and quality management. As part of the global network, BMS will boost the support of customers’ projects by tailored technical advice and consultancy.

A customer visiting the Greater Noida Center will have access to the on-site Color Library of possible colors in a visible spectrum, in transparent, translucent and opaque forms. The Center offers several thousand colors developed by Bayer through data sharing between the Color Competence Centers and production sites of BMS around the globe. The Color Competence and Design center also develops new colors and matches existing colors as per specifications from the customer.

Because of the high turnover of consumer electronics products, including laptop computers, mobile phones, televisions and home electronics, among others, manufacturers are often faced with the challenge of producing small quantities of a wide variety of products. The Color Competence and Design Center’s scalable production capacity from kilogram requirements to standard production orders according to the customer’s needs is state-of-the-art. This capability is essential as it helps customers minimize waste while meeting demand, reducing costs and enhancing production efficiency, says the company.
