Ayr Energy Files US Trade Secret Complaint Against IPO-Bound Zetwerk
U.S.-based Ayr Energy has filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission and counterclaims in Texas courts against India's Zetwerk Manufacturing and its affiliates, alleging trade secret theft, false advertising, and trademark infringement. Ayr seeks at least $1 billion in damages and import restrictions on certain transformer products. The dispute follows Zetwerk's 2025 lawsuit accusing Ayr's founder of misusing confidential information to compete. Both companies allege misuse of proprietary data and unfair competition in the transformer market.
