IKA is where people turn visions into reality. When the corporate history of IKA began in 1910, China had not yet become a People's Republic and the word "globalization" had not been invented yet. Today, the IKA group has over 900 employees at 10 locations on four continents and is proud to serve customers such as BASF, Bayer or Procter&Gamble. We are the leader in the world market in most of the product groups and a leading example of development and growth. Or as our new slogan expresses it: „IKA-Designed to work perfectly“. Export has always played a significant role for IKA, so the company also established factories abroad, the first one in 1985 in Cincinnati (Ohio), U.S.A. Today "IKA-Works, Inc." headquarters are in Wilmington (North Carolina). "IKA-Works Asia" was established in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur in 1995. The third foreign production facility opened in 1999 in Guangzhou, China. At the same time, the sales office IKA Japan was founded in Japan. And finally, IKA India, originally founded as a sales office in 2001, began its own production in 2009.Research and development continue to be conducted in the head office in Staufen. That's also where the stirring, mixing, and kneading machines for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries are produced.
