About the Company
IKR GmbH, headquartered in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, is a piping and plant construction company of the ERBUD Group. Its range of services covers design, engineering, fabrication and prefabrication of piping systems, installation of piping, valves and supports, corrosion protection, non-destructive weld seam testing, pressure and leak testing, as well as commissioning support and personnel placement. Work is carried out with carbon steel, stainless steel, creep-resistant and low-temperature-tough materials up to nickel-based alloys as well as plastics. Core markets include the chemical, petrochemical, energy, industrial, metallurgical, pharmaceutical and power plant sectors, in particular plant shutdowns and emergency operations at near-site locations. The Fabrication business unit in Bitterfeld offers around 2,000 m² of covered fabrication space and 3,000 m² of outdoor storage with a capacity of approximately 4,000 hours per month or around 50,000 hours per year. Reference customers include BP Lingen, Lyondell Basell, Siemens Energy, SKW Stickstoffwerke, Andritz and ICL-IP Bitterfeld. In addition to the headquarters, there are branch offices in Burghausen, Guben and Hamburg.
