The company will be responsible for sales, installation and service for this region. “Coloreel is the most exciting innovation to happen in the world of embroidery for the past 20 years. This technology will change the way many embroiderers work forever,” said Tony Dorsey, CEO at AJS Embroidery. The Coloreel technology enables instant colouring of textile thread. The first product, a thread- colouring unit that is said to work with any existing industrial embroidery machine, was launched last month at Avantex in Paris (see page 44 for a step-by-step featuring the new unit). Distributors have been taken on across many countries in Europe, with plans to extend beyond Europe soon. www.coloreel.com A GAME CHANGER IN SCHOOLWEAR?
