About the SDC
The SDC today
In order to make every effort 'to advance the science of colour', the Society of Dyers and Colourists aims to disseminate information through the coloration industry and beyond. This is done through the work done by the members of Council, the various committees and the membership worldwide. The headquarters of the Society are based in Bradford, UK.
SDC is changing…
We have a new visual identity. Our new identity is evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, enabling us to move forward into the 21st century, whilst honouring our incredible heritage.
In addition, a new IT system is under development and we will be launching a new website in 2010, giving you easier access to a whole range of resources.
So please bear with us during this time of change. We hope the results will be worth the wait.
