Archroma and Stony Creek Colors to enter a strategic partnership to produce IndiGold™ high-performance plant-based pre-reduced indigo at scale.

They duo recently announced that they have entered a strategic partnership to produce and bring to the market Stony Creek’s IndiGold™ high-performance plant-based pre-reduced indigo at scale. Stony Creek extracts its dye from proprietary Indigofera plant varieties grown in partnership with family farms as a regenerative rotational crop.

Stony Creek Colors developed the new IndiGold™ concept as the world’s first pre-reduced natural indigo dye, which was then developed with Archroma to offer the first-ever plant-based alternative to synthetic pre-reduced indigo.

The dyestuff will be sold at a 20% concentration in a soluble liquid form that displays similar performance to comparable synthetic indigo products available on the market. Stony Creek Colors evolved into an innovative leader in plant-based indigo due to its complete development of an improved agricultural value chain, from seed breeding and production to biomass harvest and extraction.

The company has been selling its US-grown indigo to denim mills since 2015. The pre-reduced plant-based indigo partnership took root in 2020 when Stony Creek was looking to work with like-minded partners to produce the new dyestuff at scale.
