Research & Development / Engineering
 

As with many product-oriented companies, KPMI is dependent on Research & Development and Engineering for maintaining cutting edge technology and continued sales growth. The knowledge and expedience we have with valve train design allows us to know what will work even before we cut the first prototype part. This knowledge, along with today’s technology, creates products designed for your specific needs. We use spring design software to insure that stress level are not too high. We also use computer modeling to insure that the springs will work for even the most radical cam and high RPM’s. Our coordinate measuring devices are used to verify tolerances in development and production.  

 

Production / Quality Assurance
 

Production is done in two methods; by CNC machining centers or by manual machines operated by experienced craftsmen. To aid in production, KPMI has designed and developed a unique process for producing the highest tolerances in the fewest possible production steps.  This ensures you and your customer will get the same high quality part every time you order it. When we produce our valve guides each part is inspected to have the proper size bore and OD to insure proper fit every time. Quality Assurance is our Number 1 priority – that is why you picked KPMI.

 

Distribution and Customer Service
 

Human hands have touched each part you receive from KPMI; whether CNC machined or manually produced, parts are thoroughly inspected before being packaged here at our facility in Pacifica, California.  Each order is hand picked, verified, and packed by trained distribution personnel to ensure you get the right parts the first time you order them.

Our Customer Service staff is very familiar with our product line.  And if they don’t know the answer to your question, they will get it for you as promptly as possible.  Great Customer Service is all part of Quality Assurance; your service starts the moment we pick up the telephone or read a fax order or E-mail request.
