About us

Whoever commissions a special-purpose system wants to know who designs it, builds it and accompanies it over the years. This page answers that honestly: where the knowledge comes from that goes into every ITR system — and who applies it today.

1 · Where the knowledge comes from

Decades in industrial parts cleaning system building

Over decades, extensive know-how in industrial parts cleaning system building was built up at Zippel. Fikret Önal worked there for many years in sales and in the test center and accompanied numerous international projects.

In 2016, Fikret Önal and Davut Varli founded ITR GmbH. Even before the insolvency of Zippel, ITR worked closely with the company.

2 · How this became today’s team

A large part of the experienced team works at ITR today

After the insolvency of Zippel in 2023, a large part of the experienced team moved to ITR. Today, design engineers, fitters, documentation and service work together under the brand ITR GmbH powered by Zippel. Günther Zippel Jr. also continues to support the company.

With the insolvency of Zippel, know-how, service competence and large parts of the experienced team were carried on under the name ITR GmbH powered by Zippel.

3 · Why this is the actual proof of trust

A company age would be the simple story — and in this case the wrong one

ITR GmbH was founded in 2016. The experience that works here is older, but it does not lie with a year, it lies with the people who carry it.

It is not a founding date that stands for experience, but design engineers, fitters and service technicians who have been building and supporting the same systems for years. Experience that can be verified because it lies with people — not with a number on the letterhead.

Everything else builds on exactly that: the 100 % vertical integration, the manufacturer-independent system design and the long-term support of systems that have been running for decades.

4 · The brand

To the outside, the company appears under one name

ITR GmbH powered by Zippel. Products, references and services are carried under this joint brand.

The development of the brand — from the experience at Zippel to today’s ITR GmbH — belongs on this page and explains why the name is what it is.
