Expanding Avient’s Global Footprint
The new ColorWorks center in Mexico City is a significant addition to Avient’s global network.

By establishing this center, Avient aims to be more accessible to customers in Mexico and Central America, offering more opportunities for onsite collaboration and streamlined product development.
Avient’s ColorWorks centers are known for their ability to inspire and guide customers through the early stages of product development. The Mexico City center will provide technical guidance and support, helping customers to shorten their time to market, control costs, and manage color consistency across the globe. This strategic expansion underscores Avient’s commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions to its customers.
The new center will also offer in-person and virtual color development services, allowing customers to work closely with Avient’s experts regardless of their location. This flexibility is particularly valuable in today’s globalized market, where efficient and effective communication is key to successful product development.

This collaborative approach will enable Avient to deliver more tailored and effective solutions, ultimately helping customers to achieve their goals.
The Mexico City center will offer a range of services designed to support customer collaboration, including CMF trend consultation, rapid prototyping, and virtual color development. These services will allow customers to explore new ideas, test different color options, and refine their designs before moving into full-scale production. By providing these resources, Avient is helping customers to innovate more effectively and bring their products to market faster.
In addition to its technical services, the ColorWorks center will also serve as a source of inspiration for customers. Avient’s experts will provide insights into the latest color trends and technologies, helping customers to stay ahead of the curve and create products that stand out in the market. This combination of technical support and creative inspiration is what sets Avient’s ColorWorks centers apart from other design and technology facilities.
