Schmincke releases new limited edition colors and optimizes production

Schmincke, a long-standing manufacturer of artist colors, has released a new Signature Edition for summer 2026. This limited series includes five new shades: ‘Feeling Peachy’ (045), ‘Berliner Spreegrün’ (046), ‘Red Ochre’ (047), ‘Bernstein’ (048), and ‘Lavendel’ (048). These colors, developed in collaboration with artists such as Evan Woodruffe and GrisPate, cover a spectrum of yellows, oranges, reds, greens, and pale purples.

To manage its complex manufacturing processes, Schmincke utilizes the CSB ERP system to optimize production planning and capacity utilization. According to Commercial Director Uwe Petrow, the software helps significantly reduce production costs and optimize production times by accounting for batch sizes, shelf life, and container contents. The system uses automated processes and graphical GANTT tools to allow for efficient management of multi-stage production with minimal personnel.
