Runaya und Eckart bauen Aluminiumpulveranlage in Indien
Eckart, Tochtergesellschaft von Altana und Hersteller von Effektpigmenten, und das indische Unternehmen Runaya gehen eine strategische Partnerschaft für die Produktion von kugelförmig zerstäubtem Aluminiumgranulat ein.
A new facility is being established in Orissa, India, to produce some of the most sustainable spherical atomized aluminum granules. These products are experiencing high demand growth not only in India but also in global markets, catering to high-end applications in aerospace, solar panels, and high-value effect pigments.
The joint venture will utilize recycled aluminum and renewable energy for production, targeting the Indian growth market and leveraging India's status as a global hub for advanced manufacturing. Additionally, Runaya and Eckart have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to produce high-quality aluminum pigments.
“The success story that Runaya has written by establishing sustainable production processes is impressive," commented Christian Przybyla, President of Eckart. "By pooling our expertise in the growth market of India, we want to drive innovation and create long-term value for our customers.”
“This partnership is a game-changer in our pursuit of circular economy," added Naivedya Agarwal, Managing Director and Co-founder of Runaya. "It not only transforms the aluminum industry but also showcases the power of global alliances in addressing environmental challenges. By redefining the aluminum powder segment, we are setting a new global benchmark for green manufacturing.”
