Since its establishment, Cikautxo has developed innovative, cutting-edge production processes to obtain a high level of efficiency and quality in the production of polymer parts.
We are continuously adapting to the needs of our clients and providing them value added products via:
- A close collaboration between our engineers, researchers and the customer.
- Design and development of the most suitable materials for each application, and complete control of the most advanced manufacturing technologies.
- Tools to predict our product´s behaviour (FEA) and therefore reduce development times and optimize functionality.
- Proprietary testing and validation equipment, to provide solutions to technological requirements that are continuously evolving and changing.
- Development of solutions to integrate elements such as quick connectors, resonators/silencers sensors, valves, etc.
- Continuous quality assurance through robust organisational and productive processes.
Cikatek, as Cikautxo´s R+D unit, has a team exclusively dedicated to the development of new materials and product concepts. The team and development resources are focused on the complete cycle of development of new materials and concepts, from the conception phase to the final validation phase.
