SMART INDIGO™ is the brand of Sedo
Engineering SA, Switzerland, offering a
revolutionary and sustainable technology for indigo
and denim dyeing. The SMART INDIGO™ solution
is based on a patented electrochemical process
that produces liquid leuco‑indigo using electricity
instead of hazardous chemicals. The process uses
only indigo pigment, caustic soda, water, and
electricity, with oxygen as the only by‑product.
SMART INDIGO™ enables on‑site, fully automated
production of clean leuco‑indigo, significantly
reducing CO₂ emissions, energy and water
consumption while improving workplace safety and
dyeing consistency. By eliminating
hydrosulphite‑based reduction, the technology
simplifies wastewater treatment and supports more
ecological and economical denim production.
The SMART INDIGO™ technology is industrially
proven and successfully applied in the denim
industry worldwide. It supports stable, repeatable
dyeing results and helps manufacturers reduce
their environmental footprint while meeting growing
sustainability and regulatory requirements. With
Swiss engineering quality and a strong focus on
automation and reliability, SMART INDIGO™
represents a decisive step toward cleaner, safer,
and future‑ready indigo dyeing.
