Runaya and ECKART Launch India's First Gas-Atomised Aluminium Powders Unit
Runaya and ECKART, a German company, have teamed up to build India's first factory that makes special aluminium powders.
These powders are round and very tiny, perfect for making things like airplanes, solar panels, and shiny paints.
Before this, India had to import these powders from other countries.
The factory uses a special process to make the powders, and it's good for the environment too.
This new factory will help India make more high-value products at home.
Runaya and ECKART launch India's first gas-atomised aluminium powders plant in Jharsuguda, Odisha.
The facility produces spherical, fine aluminium powders for advanced applications in aviation, space, aerospace, solar technology, and effect pigments.
The powders have a mean particle size of 15 microns and can be tailored for specific customer needs.
The joint venture combines ECKART's global expertise with Runaya's circular-economy-focused manufacturing capabilities.
The plant supports India's shift from basic metal supply to engineered materials for sophisticated industries.
