ColorGATE and AVA CAD/CAM Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionise Digital Décor Printing
Macclesfield UK – March 30th 2026 – In a move set to transform the digital décor printing industry, ColorGATE Digital Output Solutions GmbH and AVA CAD/CAM Group Ltd have today announced a strategic partnership.
This forward-thinking collaboration aims to drastically enhance operational workflows by integrating AVA’s industry-leading prepress software directly with the ColorGATE Productionserver.
This seamless integration addresses the urgent need for more efficient, sustainable processes, taking designs from initial preparation and colour separation straight through to flawless final print production.
As the industrial printing sector faces increasing pressure to reduce waste and improve turnaround times, this alliance positions both companies at the forefront of technological innovation.
By connecting design, precise colour management, and production into one continuous, efficient workflow, the partnership eliminates traditional bottlenecks.
This not only accelerates time-to-market for manufacturers but also supports more sustainable production practices by significantly reducing material waste caused by colour inaccuracies and trial-and-error printing.
Oliver Luedtke, CEO of ColorGATE, emphasised the critical nature of this advancement for the sector. “Our collaboration with AVA ensures accurate colour reproduction and reliable production workflows for industrial décor printing,” Luedtke stated. His remarks highlight the commitment of both organisations to providing robust, reliable solutions that empower manufacturers to meet modern ethical and environmental standards without compromising on quality.
Through this comprehensive integration, operators can expect a highly intuitive interface that bridges the historical gap between creative design and technical output.
By championing such streamlined and responsible workflows, ColorGATE and AVA CAD/CAM are setting a new benchmark for the décor printing industry, ensuring that businesses can scale operations efficiently while maintaining a steadfast commitment to sustainability and product excellence.

Our focus on a relatively narrow area of the total ‘print’ market has enabled us to develop highly specialised software based on continuous feedback from partner customers, with whom we have now been working for several decades, in a process of continuous review and improvement. AVA today is structured in two (overlapping) groups.
One group focuses on the particular needs and challenges of printing onto textiles (Fashion, Home Furnishing), while the other specialises in the challenges of decorative printing onto other ‘Surfaces’ (Flooring, Wallcoverings, Ceramics).
