Driving Data-Driven Safety: Archroma's Journey to Digitalization, Global Standardization and Improved Reporting

Case Study

A global leader in specialty dyes and chemicals, Archroma, embarked on a journey to enhance its operational safety and efficiency.

With 30 manufacturing sites and over 4,000 employees worldwide, they recognized the importance of implementing a comprehensive digital solution to streamline health and safety data management.

Why Pro-Sapien

Archroma chose Pro-Sapien for its centralized, multilingual, and Microsoft 365-based platform, enabling consistent incident and action management across global sites. Its flexibility, integration with business systems, and alignment with existing IT and security infrastructure made it the ideal choice for both operations and IT teams.


“We looked at a few options and Pro-Sapien was a one-stop-shop. We were looking for some flexibility and as it's a SharePoint- based system with the ability to deploy in multiple languages, it was a great choice for us.  We have 10 different languages set up as we have global sites, all the way from China to Peru where we cover everything, and we can support this in Pro-Sapien.” 

– Peet De-Waal, Director of Safety, Health & Environment
