About IKS
IKS Kunststoff- und Stahlverarbeitungs GmbH is a medium-sized company founded in 1993, headquartered in Ingelheim am Rhein with more than 100 employees. The company specializes in plastic piping construction for industry and civil engineering, plastic tank and apparatus construction, plastic shafts made from wound pipes, and turnkey extraction and exhaust air systems made of plastic. Thermoplastic materials such as PP, PE-HD, PVC, PVDF, PFA as well as transparent plastics such as PMMA, PC and PETG are processed and joined using various DVS-certified welding processes. The portfolio is complemented by steel processing, drinking water treatment, landfill technology, plastic linings and industrial service including maintenance and repair. Customers come primarily from pharmaceuticals, chemicals, water supply, waste management, electroplating and mechanical engineering; with over 130 completed drinking water tank refurbishments, IKS is a market leader in this field.
