Engineering-driven manufacturing since day one
K&S is a vertically integrated metal manufacturing partner delivering precision components, tooling, and assemblies for demanding OEM applications. By combining engineering expertise, advanced manufacturing technology, and disciplined quality systems, we help customers move from concept to production with confidence. Our approach is simple: build reliable parts, deliver on time, and continuously improve the process. Through decades of experience and investment in modern manufacturing systems, K&S supports customers who require consistent quality, responsive service, and scalable production. From complex metal stamping and laser cutting to machining, forming, and tooling, K&S provides the capabilities needed to support both new program launches and long-term production programs.Built for modern manufacturing
K&S operates from a 145,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Ixonia, Wisconsin, supporting customers throughout the Midwest and across the United States.
Our centralized location allows efficient access to major manufacturing regions while housing a fully integrated production environment. Engineering, tooling, stamping, machining, laser cutting, and forming operations all operate under one roof, improving coordination and accelerating program timelines.
This vertically integrated structure allows K&S to maintain tighter quality control, respond quickly to design changes, and deliver consistent production performance.
By combining experienced engineers, skilled tradespeople, and advanced equipment, K&S provides a stable and responsive manufacturing partner for companies operating in competitive markets.
01
Tool & Die Foundations
K&S began with a strong foundation in tool and die manufacturing. This expertise established the engineering discipline and craftsmanship that still guide our manufacturing operations today.02
Expansion into Metal Manufacturing
As customer needs evolved, K&S expanded into stamping, machining, and fabrication services to support complete production programs rather than individual processes.03
Investment in Technology
Over the years, K&S has invested heavily in advanced manufacturing technologies, including CNC machining, automated laser cutting, predictive modeling systems, and precision inspection equipment.04
A Modern Manufacturing Partner
Today, K&S operates as a fully integrated manufacturing partner supporting OEMs with engineering support, tooling expertise, and scalable production capabilities.
How K&S connects engineering and manufacturing
At K&S, our capabilities are intentionally connected. Tool & die development supports precision stamping. Machining enhances complex part geometry. Welding and forming complete assemblies. Every process is designed to flow efficiently into the next.
This integrated approach minimizes production risk, reduces supplier fragmentation, and strengthens accountability. For OEM partners, it means fewer delays, tighter tolerances, and a manufacturing system built for long-term reliability.
What types of manufacturing services does K&S provide?
Do you support projects from concept through production?
Yes. Our team frequently works with customers during early design stages, providing design-for-manufacturing guidance, simulation, tooling development, and production planning before the first part is produced.
What types of materials do you work with?
We regularly work with carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other production metals across a wide range of gauges and structural applications.
Do you manufacture your own products?
Can you support large production programs?
Whether you need support launching a new program or scaling an existing production process, K&S provides the engineering expertise and manufacturing capabilities to deliver consistent results.
Our team is ready to review your project requirements and help develop the right manufacturing approach for your application.
