About KARG Industrietechnik
Since 1971, Emmeram Karg Industrietechnik has been a provider of products and services in the field of material and materials testing. The company develops, produces and distributes testing and measuring devices as well as machines and equipment for the plastics industry – from raw material testing, through the production of standardized specimens, to mechanical testing devices. The portfolio includes universal testing machines (up to 250 kN), pendulum impact testers, notching machines, CNC specimen milling machines, melt index testers, density, moisture and viscosity measuring devices as well as injection molding specimen tools. In addition, tempering ovens, heating, cooling and climate chambers from renowned manufacturers are distributed, which are also used in the electronics industry, the automotive industry and at universities. Customers include the plastics processing industry, raw material manufacturers, compounders and universities. The company's own products can be individually modified for customer applications. The company is based in Krailling near Munich.
