Property Features and Assets:

K&J Machine Welding began in the owner's garage in 1990 following a career at HRP, where the founder opted to take a severance package and start a machining business built on word-of-mouth referrals. The early years were marked by quoting custom jobs and building strong customer relationships through reliable service, cost-effectiveness, and quick turnarounds. The company eventually leased, then purchased, the building at its current location and expanded over time, acquiring additional facilities as demand increased.
During the oil boom, K&J operated out of three buildings and employed up to 18 people. It became a certified manufacturing facility for Rexnord Thomas, producing bore and key couplings and generating approximately $200,000/month. As oil market conditions shifted, operations were consolidated into one facility. Today, the business runs comfortably with a lean and experienced team.
The company did experience a slowdown during the COVID-19 pandemic but saw local fabrication remain strong. In recent years, demand for domestic manufacturing has increased, but the seller, preparing for retirement, has opted to stabilize operations rather than pursue aggressive growth.

Competitive Advantage:
• No direct competitors in the immediate area
• Larger shops send overflow and rush jobs to K&J

• Fast turnaround times (1–2 weeks)
• Human job quoting ensures accuracy and profitability. K&J serves a broad range of industrial clients with a focus on quality and relationship-driven service rather than contractual obligations. The company wins business through its reputation and competitive bidding.

• Develop formal customer contracts for recurring revenue
• Hire sales rep to pursue new industrial accounts
• Expand into adjacent services or markets with minimal capital investment
• Leverage past certifications to regain OEM-level accounts (e.g., Rexnord)
