Care Applications has completed the installation of a system combining ECOFinish® and CLOSE-N® technologies on two existing machines at CITEVE, with ECOFinish® integrated into an open-drum garment machine for dyeing and finishing processes and CLOSE-N® applied to a jet dyeing machine, within the be@t – Bioeconomy at Textiles project. This step represents an important recognition of the value of our technologies and the shared vision of a more environmentally friendly textile industry.

We are delighted that a prestigious technology centre such as CITEVE has chosen our solutions to support the development of new dyeing and finishing processes.

These technologies will help CITEVE to work and research more efficient processes, with lower consumption of water, energy and chemicals, and greater control over the process and quality.

We firmly believe that this type of collaboration is key to building the future of textile finishing, and we are proud to do so alongside partners who share our values of innovation, ethics and efficiency and who are engaged in reference projects such as be@t.
