At RUA Group, staying connected with our industry and clients is at the heart of what we do. That’s why we proudly participated in the European Coatings Show (ECS) — the leading global event for the paints and coatings industry — in both 2023 and 2025, held in Nuremberg, Germany.

As Europe’s largest producer of premium natural barite (SG 4.4), our presence at ECS allowed us to showcase our white and off-white barite grades, specifically developed for powder coatings, decorative paints, plastics, and industrial applications. We also presented our growing portfolio of green minerals, aligning with the industry’s increasing demand for sustainable raw materials.

We thank everyone who visited us at ECS 2023 and 2025. For those who missed us — scroll through the gallery below and stay tuned for our next appearance!
