New strategic partnership with Envses Metalúrgicos de Álava to strengthen their R&D investment

ENVASES METALÚRGICOS DE ÁLAVA, a family-run designer and manufacturer of sustainable aluminium packaging, has worked alongside TECNALIA for more than 20 years, all the while strengthening their investment in R&D. The two companies have now become technological partners, working together to develop knowledge towards improving and innovating in products and manufacturing processes.

The collaboration began in 1999, when our two companies worked together to undertake a project that allowed ENVASES METALÚRGICOS DE ÁLAVA to bring an innovative new product to market, which led to a jointly-owned patent.

Throughout the years, we have also developed a series of patented technologies, allowing us to offer clients of ENVASES METALÚRGICOS DE ÁLAVA exclusive, customised products. In all, they offer excellent added value and are protected against the type of counterfeit increasingly common in conventional markets.

One of these technologies, known as Embossing, guarantees that the end product is authentic and distinct, and has situated ENVASES METALÚRGICOS DE ÁLAVA in a privileged position, making them the first aerosol manufacturer to implement this innovative process.

A commitment to technology and innovation has enabled this company to penetrate and maintain a strong presence in emerging markets, and the new partnership agreement is expected to increase their share of the European market.
