Origine, a French company and leader in the production and sale of carbon bicycles, has recently undertaken a significant change in its production processes, adopting water-based coating cycles. Historically, the company used solvent-based cycles, but in recent years, it has decided to gradually shift production towards more sustainable solutions. This decision reflects Origine's commitment to the environment without compromising the final aesthetic and weather resistance of its finishes.

Lechler’s proposal, now Origine's main partner in this eco-friendly conversion project, provides a complete, high-quality coating cycle for carbon fiber frames. To meet Origine’s high aesthetic standards, Lechler developed a system based on the LY109002 HYDROPUR PRIMER, followed by a Hydro base for pastel and metallic colors, and completed with the glossy L0YD0150 HYDROCRYL CLEAR 2K GRIP or the matte L0YD0855 MOTIVE WB 20 GLOSSY CLEARCOAT.

Thanks to this cutting-edge offering, Lechler has become Origine’s main coating supplier in recent years, the only one capable of delivering fully water-based, high-end cycles for carbon fiber frames. The collaboration between Origine and Lechler highlights how innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand, even in the high-quality bicycle industry.
