Why KVT?

What sets us apart

10 good reasons to choose KVT

Producing durable coating systems that are tailored to specific requirements and complete assemblies whose coating systems fit the customer's needs to perfection requires an in-depth understanding of the entire production process. This includes a knowledge of metallurgy, proven and stable thermal spraying processes, an excellent mastery of machining techniques, leading-edge plant and equipment, and a meticulous commitment to quality control throughout the entire process.

 

Whenever abrasion, high temperatures, high pressure levels, large numbers of cycles and high flow velocities are critical factors, we are the people to talk to.

  • The true quality of a component or assembly is determined by all the skills and expertise that went into it during production. That is why we supply our customers with complete, high-end, prefinished components. 
  • Differences in the quality of product solutions only become apparent at the end of the production process. Accordingly, the true value of a supplier becomes clear only when the entire purchasing value chain is analyzed. We set the standards in this area, creating significant savings potential for our customers.

8. One-stop shopping

  • Completing, monitoring and controlling the entire production process in house enables us to reduce the number of interfaces – and the potential frictional losses to which they can lead – for our customers. 
  • You can only guarantee quality for those aspects of the production process that you control. That is why we control every last detail – in the interests of our customers. 
  • The smaller the number of suppliers involved in manufacturing products, the higher the quality, the more punctual and reliable the delivery and the greater the potential savings. That is why extensive vertical integration sets us apart. 

9. More value for money

  • This depth of vertical integration enables our customers to influence their own cost structure too – another genuine advantage of close collaboration. Seeing the big picture in this way helps you and us to generate substantial cost benefits.
