IKA, founded in 1910, has grown into a global leader in scientific and industrial equipment with over 900 employees across 16 locations on four continents. Serving major clients like BASF, Bayer, and Procter & Gamble, IKA leads in many product groups, embodying the slogan "IKA - Designed to work perfectly."

As a family-run, medium-sized company, IKA values each employee's contribution, maintaining flat hierarchies and quick decision-making processes. Their investment strategy focuses on long-term sustainability rather than short-term profits typical of publicly traded companies. IKA operates in markets of significant social importance, including life sciences, pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, and related scientific institutions. The company's primary goal is to achieve sustained, profitable growth in expanding markets, benefiting both employees and the organization.

IKA is self-financed, allowing for independent strategic decisions and the reinvestment of earnings into growth areas. Recent initiatives include the BioProcessing Solutions unit, which aids in disease research and the development of biological therapies, and the EV Battery Solutions division, which supports the transition to electric vehicles by producing Li-ion battery solutions.

Globally active, IKA has subsidiaries in key international regions, integrating sales, development, and production. The company combines a respect for tradition with a dynamic, forward-looking approach, offering employees diverse and challenging roles in a supportive and pragmatic environment. IKA's commitment to sustainable growth and innovation ensures its continued success in the global market.
