About IBK
Ingenieur-Büro Kötter GmbH (IBK) is a family-owned manufacturer based in Sprockhövel with over 40 years of experience in the design and manufacture of paint spraying equipment, coating systems, distribution systems, agitator and lifting technology, and further components for surface coating. The modular product system comprises piston pumps, spray guns, pneumatic agitators, pressure regulators, suction systems, pressure tanks, check valves and filter systems, which can be individually combined and extended. In addition, the company offers process-optimized parts and assembly manufacturing as an all-in-one service: from process selection through CNC turning and milling, hardening, plasma nitriding, electroplating, anodizing, and wet and powder coating to quality inspection. Parts are manufactured in plastics and tempered steels from one-off pieces to large series. Customers come from surface coating, the paint and coatings industry, and mechanical engineering; customers worldwide are supplied with just-in-time spare parts.
