Colour matching for series production

KSK handles colour matching as an integral part of coating, reliably and reproducibly transferring colour shades into series production in accordance with OEM specifications and master panels. Precisely calibrated formulations are developed from standard and effect pigments, which can be seamlessly transferred to series processes. Established procedures, clear process definitions and experienced employees produce approval-ready colour shades that integrate seamlessly into supply chains and significantly reduce our customers’ internal complexity.

Our colour matching delivers
Reduced complexity by managing every step in-house
Rapid response thanks to close coordination between development and production
High flexibility for special colours, effects and short-notice adjustments
Reproducible quality through instrument-verified formulations
Seamless handover to coating, assembly and logistics

In-house expertise for maximum speed
Our colour matching takes place entirely in-house: from our own mixing laboratory and measurement analysis through to direct sampling on our coating lines. These short distances enable rapid colour changes, short-notice correction cycles and a flexible response to new requirements. Clear inspection mechanisms, documented formulations and end-to-end traceability ensure consistently high quality, high efficiency and maximum process reliability. Even for special colours and tight timeframes.

From master panel to approval-ready series production
KSK takes a holistic approach to colour matching and integrates it as an integral part of the value chain. The starting point is the OEM's master panel, which serves as the binding reference for colour shade, gloss level and surface structure. On this basis, we develop the appropriate formulation, test it using measurement technology and visually under defined light sources, and make it available for sampling. Additional services such as colour sample production, documentation and handover to series coating ensure that your colour shade is ready for approval, tested and available on schedule for further processing.
Seamless transition to series production
Rely on around 40 years of experience in industrial coating. Entrust your colour shades to KSK. We look forward to working on your project.
