We offer promising career prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the future, WIKA will produce pressure gauges, diaphragm seals and electronic temperature measuring instruments at the new factory in Kazakhstan. All measuring instruments will, in future, be tested and verified in a high-end calibration laboratory to meet the highest customer requirements. In Central Asia, the main segments served will be the oil and gas, energy, chemical, petrochemical and mining industries. The production in Kazakhstan is set to be expanded in the coming years.<\/p>\n
