IKO UK

About IKO

IKO is proud to be a trusted and transparent supply partner to the UK’s built environment. With 140 years’ experience of UK manufacturing, we are the market leader in the design, and manufacture of roofing, insulation, and waterproofing systems, and we also produce an ever-expanding highway maintenance range.

Dedicated to driving positive change, our aim is to create a long-lasting legacy by protecting what matters to our people and the planet and preserving the integrity of buildings and roads nationwide.

Our four strategically-located manufacturing plants, extensive support network of technical experts, and status as a single, full system manufacturer make us a reliable, responsive, and environmentally-responsible partner.

Furthermore, our focus on local sourcing and operations, combined with a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, means we can offer smart, more sustainable solutions that will stand the test of time.

Our History

We are a family-owned organisation recognised as a pioneer within the UK roofing, waterproofing, insulation, and infrastructure markets.

Despite our tremendous growth, IKO remains firmly rooted in the core values originally envisioned by its founder Israel Koschitzky – from entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to craftmanship and quality.

We as a company maintain our independence, champion UK manufacturing, and adhere to the belief in self-reliance by controlling the raw materials used in our manufacturing processes.

From a humble beginning to a modern manufacturer, our dedication to combining timeless values with cutting-edge technology has proved successful and will allow IKO to continue to lead the way for the industries we work with.
