We see ourselves as a system partner for demanding positioning tasks in a wide range of industries!

ITK stands for high-precision positioning systems and assemblies for one to three-dimensional movements. With over 40 years of experience, all mechatronic systems and their components are developed and manufactured in-house. We understand the interaction of mechanics, electronics and software to ensure sub-micron accuracy and nanometre resolution. This expertise helps our customers build chips more reliably, develop vaccines faster, make sensors more accurate and accelerate the energy transition.

FROM FIRST HAND
Application reports from our customers and employees

In 2022 ITK will celebrate its 40th anniversary - 10 years of which I have already been with the company. As a graduate computer scientist, I not only deal with the development of user software and system solutions at ITK, but also look after the ERP system as well as procedures and processes for quality assurance.

The special thing about ITK: all products and their components are developed and manufactured in-house. Since it is always about individual systems "made to measure", there is no boredom and one is always challenged anew.
Özlem Marangoz
Özlem Marangoz Development/ERP Business Process Analyst
My personal professional development at ITK began seven years ago - at that time I was still a student, earning some extra money with a temporary job at ITK. Typical "Hiwi work" such as assembly and clean-up work, as well as auxiliary work on the production machines were part of the job. I got an insight into the company, the products and the company philosophy.

I liked all this so much that I joined ITK professionally after completing my mechanical engineering studies - as a design engineer. And today, a few years later, I am the head of design and, together with my colleagues, ensure that we can offer our customers the ideal solutions for their demanding applications.
