Eckart: 150 years of metal and light

Founded in Fürth, Germany, in 1876 as a gold-beating workshop, Eckart is celebrating its 150^th anniversary. Building on this longstanding expertise in metals, the company has developed a portfolio of metallic and pearlescent pigments now used in cosmetics to create shine, radiance, optical effects and distinctive visual finishes in formulations. These solutions are also used in coatings, plastics and printing inks.

For the cosmetics market, the focus is now shifting towards pigments that combine visual performance, sensory appeal and sustainability requirements. Eckart is therefore continuing to invest in more resource-efficient production processes, water-based technologies, and the development of metallic and pearlescent pigments designed to meet evolving market expectations.
