Dow Jones Description

Pantone, Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of X-Rite, Incorporated, is the world-renowned authority on color and provider of color systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of color across a variety of industries. The PANTONE Name is known worldwide as the standard language for color communication from designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer. In 1963, Lawrence Herbert, Pantone's founder, created an innovative system of identifying, matching and communicating colors to solve the problems associated with producing accurate color matches in the graphic arts community. His insight that the spectrum is seen and interpreted differently by each individual led to the innovation of the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM , a book of standardized color in fan format. Over the last 45 years, Pantone has expanded its color matching system concept to other color-critical industries, including digital technology, textiles, plastics, architecture and contract interiors, and paint. It continues to develop color communication tools for a variety of industries and aggressively adopts new digital technology to address the color needs of design and production professionals.

Lawrence Herbert is the chairman and chief executive officer of Pantone, Inc., the world's premiere color standards company and color authority. He has been the creative force behind developing a variety of color systems which have become the standards for global communication of color in the printing, publishing, packaging, graphic arts, paint, plastics, coatings, computer, film, video, textiles and fashion industries. Following military service in Korea during the war, Herbert returned to New York and took what he thought was a temporary job at Pantone, Inc. At the time, Pantone's major business was producing color charts for cosmetics, fashion, industrial and medical firms. Fascinated by the challenge of developing a universal color specification system, Lawrence Herbert abandoned his plans for medical school and set about curing the color ills of industry. Herbert joined Pantone in 1956 and bought the company in 1962. In 1963 he invented the world-renowned PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM . Today, Herbert oversees his multinational company from an 80,000 square foot facility in New Jersey with branches in the U.K., Germany, Hong Kong and China. The firm is best known for the universal color standards and global color language provided by its publications, software, hardware and related products and services. Herbert holds a BA degree from Hofstra University and has received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the university. In 1996, Hofstra University inaugurated the Lawrence Herbert Distinguished Professorship Chair in his honor.
