B-K Tool & Design

 In the heart of Kalida, Ohio, a company stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities of innovation and dedication. B-K Tool & Design, Inc., a prominent player in the world of automation solutions, recently took center stage as part of our Follow Friday highlights during Manufacturing Month.


I had the privilege of speaking with Jeff Kahle and Jerry Klear.   B-K Tool & Design traces its roots to 1981 when it was founded by Bob Kahle as a small machine shop specializing in custom components for various industries. Today, it has blossomed into a pioneering provider of turn-key automation solutions, all under the proficient leadership of Jeff and Kevin Kahle.  With an extensive 80,000-square-foot facility, B-K Tool & Design has established itself as a hub of innovation in the heart of Kalida.


At the heart of B-K Tool & Design's success is a dedicated team of mechanical, electrical, and control engineers who leverage cutting-edge industrial technologies. This remarkable synergy allows the company to offer flexible and cost-effective automated equipment capable of overcoming a myriad of challenges. The commitment to innovation is deeply ingrained in B-K Tool & Design's DNA, and it is reflected in the solutions they provide. 


One of the defining features of B-K Tool & Design is its comprehensive range of capabilities. From design to fabrication, and from CNC machining to support services, they can handle every aspect of their projects in-house. This not only streamlines the production process but also ensures that every customer-specific equipment they deliver is of the highest quality. 


B-K Tool & Design invites you to explore its wide array of services, which includes robotics, electrical buildings, control engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, fabrication, CNC machining, support services, and product lines. Their diverse offerings make them a one-stop shop for all your automation needs.


You can visit  B-K Tool & Design's website at www.bktool.com.  There you will discover more about the services they provide, explore their rich gallery, and even explore the exciting opportunity of joining their team or seeking internship opportunities. 



As we reflect on B-K Tool & Design's remarkable journey, one thing is clear – their commitment to excellence, innovation, and automation solutions is unwavering. With a history that speaks volumes and a future that holds immense potential, B-K Tool & Design is an industry leader that is undoubtedly shaping the landscape of manufacturing. In the spirit of Manufacturing Month, we celebrate their achievements and look forward to the innovations they will bring to the world of automation in the years to come.
