“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.”
