When your job is to supply products to world-famous brands in the textile industry, there’s very little room for error.

No business knows this better than Thailand-based textile mill Y.R.C. If customer names like Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Decathlon don’t fully convey the volume of Y.R.C.’s operations, their production capacity certainly will.

With advanced production facilities in Thailand, they are capable of producing 1,100 tons of knitted fabric, 400,000 yards of woven fabrics, and 2.5 million yards of warp knitted fabrics per month.

But you don’t become a leading textile manufacturer based on volume capacity alone. That’s why, for over 30 years, Y.R.C. has prided itself on being a textile technology leader, adhering to the highest standards for quality and speed of delivery. Products are inspected for quality at every step of the manufacturing process and adhere to strict environmental standards.

An Impossible Undertaking—Without Digital Color Management

“Fast, accurate and reliable.” Those are the words Y.R.C. used to describe Datacolor’s spectrophotometers and software. Y.R.C. operates four dye fabric houses, one yarn dying facility and one printing facility. Without a well-executed, digital approach to standardization, this could easily lead to inconsistent color, missed deadlines and exorbitant costs for rejected samples—not to mention putting a strain on the company’s critical customer relationships. 

Y.R.C. knew they needed to partner with a company with high standards for repeatability and inter-instrument agreement. They also knew they needed a global support network dedicated to ensuring they were equipped with the right tools to serve a high-profile customer base. Datacolor’s local presence also meant that our team would be there whenever they needed support. 

With the support of Color Experts, Datacolor’s partner in Thailand, Y.R.C. implemented a digital color communication strategy that would ensure the highest level of repeatability—no matter the color or dyeing location. Datacolor solutions help Y.R.C.: 

  • Dramatically reduce sample costs 
  • Reduce conflicts caused by visual communication 
  • Achieve the level of repeatability needed for a mill with a production capacity of their size 
  • Avoid unnecessary dyeing and achieve more first shot matches 
  • which leads to cutting costs, saving a significant amount of time, reducing water use and combating air pollution

Supporting the Future of Efficient Textile Production

Y.R.C. is also a trusted supplier for developing new products. They understand that investing in new technology for faster, more accurate delivery is a must in the current textile production environment. This investment has allowed them to introduce new designs each month, as well as accept custom designs and samples from customers. They can also weave recycled yarns into their fabrics.

But innovation is not possible without education. As they continue to grow their reputation as a textile industry leader, Y.R.C. has turned to Datacolor agent Color Experts for personalized advice and a commitment to educating their team on effective and efficient use of Datacolor solutions.

For Y.R.C., providing the best experience for the brands they work with isn’t enough. They must continually adapt to changing industry demands and always raise the bar for color and quality. Partnering with Datacolor allows them to go full-speed-ahead with the confidence that color will not slow them down.
