Looking for a specific Pantone color to match your product design? We are here to help you achieve the exact color you dream of! Kafrit holdes a long-term licensing agreement with Pantone and has been approved as an authorized Pantone master-batch color supplier for the plastics industry. Just choose any color out of thousands of options available to you and make your dream come true.
Color development is what we specialize in
In addition to master-batch color production, we are also developing the formulations for all existing and under-development Pantone colors for the plastics industry. Over 4,000 different products have been color-matched in Kafrit and the exact color formula has been chosen for them. That includes challenging color adjustments such as metallic, pearls, bright and reflective colors. All color formulations are made for Pantone’s Central Laboratory in the United States and are certified by them.
Made with care by Kafrit
Our commitment to colors is full. Therefore, we have taken another step forward and in addition to producing and developing color formulations, we also manufacture the official-colored plastic chips for Pantone. Thus, when ordering a color master-batch from Kafrit, you can be 100% sure that it will match the Pantone’s colored chip that you hold in your hands. The plastic chips production is done under long-term and exclusive agreement with Pantone
Over the last months, KAFRIT IL has faced challenges that have tested us not just as a company, but as human beings. We’ve experienced unimaginable loss, and now have a new responsibility to our team members, families, customers, and partners.
KAFRIT IL was born in Kibbutz Kfar-Aza, where the October 7th attacks have left every one of our people in the kibbutz feeling an unprecedented loss. We were devastated to lose our team member Dorit Bar Ilan, our Board member Aviv Kutz, and our SVP Business Development & Innovation Nadav Goldstein.
In the wake of the tragedy, we’re committed to using our knowledge and resources to help our team members, families and the Kibbutz Kfar-Aza community move forward. Our focus on people has always driven our ESG commitments and goals, and today this matters more than ever, both to our people and the people of Israel. We’ve been sending food to families of recruited individuals, financial assistance to those who need it, and paid salaries to those who can’t work.
Thanks to the collaborative culture among Kafrit Group’s companies and partners, we’ve kept our business active and resilient, and maintained our high standards of client service, and we were releasing materials under military protection.
Since November 8th, the KAFRIT IL plant came gradually back to operations, becoming fully operational since mid-December 2023. Working together, we started, and we will overcome these obstacles, advance our commitments to all our stakeholders, and emerge stronger than ever
