Pyrum Innovations AG (Pyrum) and the bicycle tyre manufacturer Ralf Bohle GmbH (brand: “Schwalbe”) have concluded a framework agreement for the long-term purchase of Pyrum’s recovered Carbon Black (rCB). The agreement covers the purchase of rCB at a fixed price for a term of ten years. This is already the second framework agreement of this scope that Pyrum has been able to conclude, in addition to the one with Continental. Both parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. Schwalbe’s supply of bicycle tyres to Pyrum will also be further expanded in this context.
