Archroma and HeiQ have entered into a co-marketing partnership aimed at accelerating the global adoption of advanced, sustainable antimicrobial and odour-control solutions for the textile industry.

The collaboration brings together Archroma’s global reach, application expertise and established customer network with HeiQ’s deeptech innovation capabilities in functional textiles and sustainable fibres. The partners say the alliance will make it easier for brands, retailers and textile mills to access high-performance, planet-conscious technologies that meet growing consumer expectations for hygiene, freshness and sustainability.

Through the agreement, textile manufacturers will gain access to an expanded portfolio of functional effects that are compliant, scalable and designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance. HeiQ’s technologies will be delivered via Archroma’s worldwide infrastructure, supporting faster market uptake and consistent application across regions.

Dhirendra Gautam, VP Commercial at Archroma, said the partnership represents a significant step for both companies and for the wider industry, combining global application know-how with innovation to support a more sustainable textile value chain. HeiQ CEO Carlo Centonze added that the collaboration will help scale technologies globally, enabling brands and mills to enhance product performance while lowering environmental footprints.

The partners emphasised that the agreement is not only about market access but also about scaling innovation, helping the industry respond to evolving demands for functional, sustainable textile solutions.
