history
The origins of the company go back to the year 1893, when the cartridge factory Henri Ehrmann & Cie expanded the existing production program with semi-automatic machines for filling tubes. In 1928 the industrial family Quandt took over the company and relocated the production of the machines for mass packaging (MfM) to Karlsruhe . This resulted in the Industriewerke Karlsruhe Aktiengesellschaft (IWK AG) in 1949. In 1970 IWK AG and KUKA GmbH merged to form Industriewerke Karlsruhe Augsburg AG .
In 2007 the packaging division of IWKA AG was taken over by the investor Odewald & Cie .
IWK Verpackungstechnik GmbH has been part of ATS Automation Tooling Systems based in Cambridge , Canada since 2013 .
