About KARODUR
The KARODUR Group, headquartered in Troisdorf near Cologne, consists of KARODUR Wirkteller GmbH and KARODUR Pressplatten GmbH. Wirkteller GmbH offers waterjet cutting with six systems using the 2D and 3D methods as well as micro waterjet cutting (Finecut) with a tolerance of ±0.01 mm. Parts are produced using the pure waterjet method for soft materials such as rubber, textiles or foodstuffs, and using the abrasive method for hard materials such as stainless steel, titanium, aluminium, glass, ceramics and stone. Since 2002, Pressplatten GmbH has produced PVC and PP pressed panels, including post-chlorinated PVC (C-PVC) up to 100 millimetres thick, and develops thermoplastic composites with carbon fibre, glass fibre and PA reinforcement. From a specially developed plastic, KARODUR also manufactures cake frames and cake supports for the baking industry. The company is certified to ISO 9001:2008; the composites are exported worldwide.
