About CITAKU GmbH
CITAKU GmbH, based in Bad Essen-Wehrendorf, is a manufacturer of painting hooks and wire bent parts as well as an assembler of heat-resistant adhesive tapes, supplying customers with special accessories for surface technology. The product range includes painting hooks, welding contacts, carrier system components, masking products made of silicone and EPDM (cover hoses, caps, plugs, die-cut shapes, round cords), adhesive tapes as well as painting accessories. Production takes place on a machine park consisting of CNC wind and bending machines, CNC bending automat machines, NC bending machines, a straightening machine, adhesive tape cutting machines and a milling machine for cutting silicone sheets. The wire grades used are copper-coated iron wire, black spring steel wire, V2A wire 1.4301 and V2A spring steel 1.4310. Thanks to in-house production, individual assembly of the adhesive tapes and a large stock of heat-resistant masking products, many orders can be shipped the same day. The company also develops individual solutions according to customer requirements and, in addition to serving customers in Germany, also serves customers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg via a sales office (Citaku B.V.) in Venlo.
