On September 1, 1981, four men, each handling an important aspect of the business, formed a team and founded KCI, Incorporated. In the years since, KCI has grown into North America's largest process equipment supplier to the fiberglass insulation industry. During the mid-90's KCI expanded into the automotive industry and has become a recognized leader in the manufacturing of automotive assembly equipment and has earned several patents. Ford Motor Company awarded KCI with their Customer Driven Quality Award for Manufacturing for its innovative contributions to the industry. In 1997, Ingram Magazine listed KCI among the 20 fastest growing companies in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
With a manufacturing and office complex totaling over 150,000 square feet and ongoing expansion for diversification, KCI looks to develop innovative processes for other major industries and create opportunities to become the engineering and maintenance arm of corporations that choose to downsize and outsource those operations.
The 'TEAM' oriented culture started by KCI's four founding partners prevails throughout the company today. What's more, the traditions of cooperation, honesty and confidentiality extend to customer relationships. KCI, Incorporated is not just a supplier, not just a resource, KCI is a partner, "Your Partner For Process Innovation."
KCI, Incorporated would like to announce the corporate partnership between KCI, Incorporated and Seelen A/S. This Partnership became effective January 1, 2004. This allows KCI, Incorporated to offer our customers the latest advances in packaging technology from both the United States and Europe.

With this partnership we act as the support arm for any equipment supplied by Seelen A/S in the United States.
