A breakthrough technology, validated product-market fit, and a world-class team. Now, the resources to scale. It's official: Ever Dye closes a €15 million Series A round (led by Daphni and CMI). The goal? Industrializing a textile dyeing technology that could tip an entire industry toward radically more sustainable practices.

Textile dyeing: the blind spot of the transition?

While the textile industry is regularly criticized for its environmental impact, dyeing remains its Achilles' heel: 20% of global water pollution, up to 52% of the sector's CO₂ emissions, energy-intensive processes, and a persistent reliance on chemicals and pigments derived from petrochemicals.

Ever Dye is tackling this deadlock with a bold promise: making dyeing both cleaner… and more competitive.

A technology that ticks all the boxes

At the heart of Ever Dye's value proposition is a bio-based dyeing technology, compatible with existing dye house infrastructure, that cuts energy consumption by eight, reduces processing time by three, and delivers a 61 to 89% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions depending on the method.

The impact is massive:

90% water pollution reduction, 30% water consumption reduction, zero green premium for brands starting in 2026, with pigment pricing competitive with traditional solutions.

And crucially, the technology is ready: after three years of R&D, Ever Dye's pigments have been tested and validated by leading industry players. Lacoste, Adore Me, Kiabi, Petit Bateau, and a major French luxury brand have all entered into concrete partnerships with the startup.

From proof of concept to production at scale

The ambition behind this Series A is clear: moving from the lab to the factory floor.

Thanks to a CAPEX-free model (based on outsourcing to industrial partners), Ever Dye plans to scale its production capacity without adding to its overhead. Discussions with contract manufacturers are already well advanced, and the first industrial volumes are ready to launch.

At the same time, the company continues to expand its range (with a growing palette of pigments), develop formulations compatible with 90% of dyeing processes, and extend its impact to synthetic fibers like polyester.

A team, an execution, a vision

On the team front, Ever Dye checks all the boxes as well. At the helm: Philippe Berlan, former CEO of Petit Bateau and La Redoute, who has deep firsthand knowledge of the industrial transformation challenges facing the textile sector.

Alongside her, Amira Erokh, co-founder and CTO, an expert in organic chemistry and dyeing processes. Together, they form a deeply complementary duo, strengthened by a high-caliber R&D team (5 PhDs) and Victor Durand, a COO with a strong operational background.

Their roadmap is clear. Their execution, already impressive: in three years, Ever Dye has gone from a research project to a validated industrial model, with capsule collections sold in the United States, LOIs signed with several brands, and an ambitious technology roadmap to address 85% of the global market by 2030.

A conviction that grows stronger

At Asterion, we backed Ever Dye from the very beginning, convinced that decarbonizing the textile industry would require a fundamental overhaul of its processes—and that the solution would come from within. With technology compatible with existing production lines, undeniable environmental performance, an ultra-short time-to-impact, and a scalable model with no CAPEX, Everdye perfectly embodies what we seek to support.

This Series A isn't a promise: it's a validation. Of a market, a technology, a team. And above all, of the potential for transformation at scale.

And what's next?

The objective is clear: to make Ever Dye the global leader in sustainable textile dyeing. A player capable of reconciling industrial performance with environmental standards, in a sector that is both polluting and under pressure.
