What our clients say

We have worked with TKS on several projects and I have yet to find any major flaws. The only one I can think of is that they stay busy but that is normal for a good integrator. We have tasked TKS with project ranging from $10K to $1M and they provide the same customer care regardless of our investment. They WILL stand behind their work and provide customer support when needed. Again, they are a strong outfit which is why several of our Snap-on plants do business with them.

TKS is certainly one of the best I have worked with in the past 10 years. They are on time, reasonably priced, can provide expedited service, can provide prototypes, and they also offer on-site assistance (something that is hard to find these days). I would recommend using TKS for your fixturing and tooling needs.
