For over 20 years, our mission has been to work alongside our customers, helping them to make the best of their color offer. Our goal is to help them Create Value through Color. Our main activity is to produce and market dispersions of pigments (commonly called colorants) to tint paints either in factory or at point of sale. Over the years, we have built up an international network of suppliers, and this has allowed us to consolidate a business of the trading of powder pigments for colors and effects in sectors also outside paints (like plastic, ink, textile, leather…). Today this has become one of the pillars of our company. Iris Green is the market leader for tinting systems in Italy and does business in over 30 countries with more than 400 customers. We are an Italian company with deep local roots, and belong to an International group which does business around the world.
