Assembly workbench with metal and mixed-material components

Product assembly.
From start to finish.

Bring the parts, processes, and purchased components together. From a welded subassembly to a finished product, K-O coordinates the build, inspection, packaging, and delivery around your requirements.

Discuss your assembly

Fewer pieces to manage.
More of the job complete.

A subassembly.

Bring related components into one ready-to-install unit. Engineering collaboration helps simplify the build and reduce the separate parts your production team handles.

A finished product.

Use K-O as the final assembly point. We combine manufactured and purchased components, then package, label, and ship the product ready for use or sale.

A complete kit.

Keep components separate and organized for the job. Parts, hardware, and service supplies are packed in the agreed quantities, with the identification your team needs.

Built to fit.
Connected to work.

Dedicated work centers can combine mechanical assembly and electrical-component integration in a route defined around your drawing, materials, and functional requirements.

Mechanical assembly.

Integrate hardware and mating parts into a stamping or fabricated component, from a simple welded assembly to a complete mechanical subassembly.

  • Riveting
  • Tapping & drilling
  • Staking
  • PEM nut & hardware insertion
  • Hydraulic inserting

K-O mixed-material assembly with a formed housing, wiring, and electrical connectors

Electrical integration.

Bring electrical components into the finished assembly, with connections and circuit testing defined around the product’s functional requirements.

  • Wiring
  • Wiring harnesses
  • Connectors
  • Clamps
  • Switches
  • Circuit testing

K-O inventory and shipping racks

From the parts list
to the delivery.

We can order and inventory components we do not produce, including plastic parts, electrical components, and glass. Sourcing responsibilities and release requirements are agreed at the start.

  1. Define the build.

    Review the bill of materials, drawings, revisions, quantities, and any opportunities to simplify the assembly.

  2. Make & source.

    Plan manufactured parts, purchased items, and customer-supplied components around the agreed schedule.

  3. Assemble & inspect.

    Complete the joining, hardware installation, and electrical integration, with fit, finish, and function checks.

  4. Pack & deliver.

    Apply labels, protective packaging, lot identification, and documents, then ship to your release instructions.

Fit. Finish. Function.

Finished assemblies are inspected against the agreed requirements. Every project is managed through the same quality system, with inspection records and documentation planned around the program.

K-O is certified to IATF 16949:2016 for the manufacture of metal stampings and assemblies.

Bring the details.
We’ll plan the build.

A drawing, bill of materials, or existing sample is a useful starting point.
