Joruva

Challenge

Joruva needed a distinct, premium brand identity to compete in the industrial oil-water separator market. The strategy was to signal technical innovation and environmental responsibility while establishing credibility with large-scale clients. Competing with more established brands, Joruva required a bold positioning to stand out as the modern, forward-thinking alternative.
