This week we’re taking a look at one of the recent fabrication projects that we finished for a roofing company, a large storage and transport cart that will be used by roofers who work primarily for large industrial facilities.

KMK would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as we dive into the holiday season! We’ve had an amazing year of growth and change, and we can’t wait to celebrate all of the milestones that we’ve been able to achieve together.
Supporting local businesses has always had its advantages, no matter what type of business–and the same is true for metal fabrication companies! Working with a local supplier for metal fabrication projects offers the customer better value for their money, personalized service, and quicker response and lead times–especially when it comes to shipping. And, partnering with a local metal fabricator will also help to invest in the community and the local economy as well.
At KMK, we’ve often got cool and unique fabrication projects going on in our shop, like the metal racks used to hold oxygen tanks and other important equipment for hospitals, or clean, colorful display racks for use in retail locations. This week, we’re taking a look at one of the most recent projects we’ve taken on for a client in medical and hospitality equipment manufacturing, a new stainless steel cart that’s designed to be a versatile solution for a variety of environments.
One of the major services that we offer here at KMK for metal fabrication of all types is laser cutting. However, in order for laser cutting to work, we need to keep a regular store of high pressure nitrogen to actually power the laser. Traditionally, we would have to source pressurized nitrogen from an outside vendor, dealing with delivery charges and time for cylinder changeovers. Now, we have a way to generate pressurized nitrogen in-house, saving us on downtime and shipping costs, and providing a more efficient and sustainable way to get the nitrogen we need for our laser cutting operations.
KMK is one of the few fabrication shops that accommodates sheet metal, tubing, and metal wire fabrication all within our facility. We provide custom wire forming according to our partners’ designs, typically incorporating the finished component into a final product on site, or sending the components to our partners’ facilities for assembly.
One of the aspects that sets KMK apart is our complement of fabrication capabilities. We aren’t just a sheet metal fabrication shop–we also are experts at wire forming and tube fabrication, which is often required for various product assemblies. In addition, we also have a fully-automated powder coating line in-house for a clean, durable finish that can be easily customized according to customer requirements for color and texture.
Sustainability has been a large buzzword over the past several years, with more emphasis being placed on improving the environmental impact of the metal fabrication industry. The push has come from multiple parties, with monetary incentives from the U.S. government to consumer attitudes towards better sustainability. Metal fabrication has traditionally had a major impact on the environment. From high resource and energy consumption, to waste generation and harmful emissions, metal fabrication shops tend to have a larger impact than other companies. However there are many practical ways that metal fabrication companies can improve their sustainability that also come with many […]
