Providing Customer Metal Solutions for Over Twenty-Five Years

One of the aspects that sets KMK apart in metal fabrication is our versatility. We don’t just make standard, run-of-the-mill metal components. Our customers bring us their unique designs and particular needs for size, shape, and function, and we bring those ideas to life for them through a combination of sheet metal, wire, and tube fabrication as the project dictates. And we do this all in-house too, unlike other companies that offer one or maybe two of those fabrication capabilities. A Leader in Metal Fabrication and Powder CoatingKMK opened its doors in 1997, a small sheet metal fabricator located in Carlyle, […]

A Look at the New Tariffs and their Current Impact on American Manufacturers

A Look at the New Tariffs and their Current Impact on American Manufacturers

The new tariffs that have been either proposed or enacted by the current U.S. government administration have been a popular topic across the globe. Due to their direct and indirect impacts on raw material imports and some of the world’s largest industries (semiconductor and automotive), they’ve also had a significant impact on American manufacturers. And the uncertainty surrounding the full extent of these tariffs and what measures of retaliation will be enacted by other countries has only added more fuel to the fire.

Improving our Sustainability by Improving our Shop!

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.
