innovation

The production of colouring agents and pilot tests take place in the factory at Steenbergen. Research takes place from a multidisciplinary team which works in its own laboratory and at knowledge institutes such as Wageningen University and Gent University College. This is where we continuously work on broadening the field of application of Rubia’s 100% natural colouring agents.

Rubia Natural Colours is a world leader in the market for natural colouring agents for non-food applications. The natural colouring agents of Rubia Natural Colours are provided as a powder and they are just as easy to use as synthetic colouring agents. They can be easily used in existing large and small professional dye equipment. Through process engineering Rubia Natural Colours is capable of producing natural colouring agents on a large scale, in large amounts, of consistent quality and fully traceable. The factory at Steenbergen is one of a kind. The colouring product is in stock for dyeing on a large scale.
