K & K (Keathley and Kinnebrew) Industries, Inc. opened for business September, 2004. From day one we have worked directly with the customer from start to finish, ensuring a quality product quickly and efficiently. If needed, we also coordinate machining, welding, and powder coating. We are the largest laser-cutting service between Vancouver, B.C., and the Everett area. And although we were a newer company, K & K had the people with the skills and knowledge of most longer-established laser-cutting businesses. This enabled K & K to grow and expand quickly, servicing the needs of the region. Most of our employees have worked for or with Ben off and on at other companies over the past 12 years. They came on board knowing that Ben expects a lot out of his crew. The also knew they would be well-compensated and provided with a safe and pleasant working environment. We’re proud of the fact we were able to offer our employees medical and dental insurance just over a year after opening. Teamwork and a close knit staff contributes to quality workmanship. Quality and pride in our work is always forefront. In all of our business relationships, K & K strives to support the local economy . We also support (both monetarily and in-kind) several community and educational programs. We have donated scrap metal to the Bellingham Technical College welding program, helped with a sign for Nooksack Elementary School and S.P.O.T. stations for the city of Bellingham, and aided in funding a field trip for Eagleridge Elementary School. We have also donated to or assisted the following organizations: American Cancer Society, Northwest Women’s Hall of Fame, Junior Achievement of Washington, Whidbey Island Senior Mystery Tour, Whatcom County Support Officers, Bellingham Memorial Park , Blue Sky For Children, YWCA of Bellingham, American Red Cross, Bellingham Food Bank, Depot Market Fund, Marianne's House, Memorial Park Project, International Association of Administrative Professionals. AwardsEvery year The Northwest Business Monthly honors local businesses with awards for Business Person of the Year, Small Business of the Year, and Start-Up Business of the Year.
