Competitive Advantage:
TKS products deliver long-term reliability, register precision and high
print quality. We take great pride in our state-of-the-art facilities,
skilled technicians, and highly detailed production factories involved in
the manufacturing and assembly of all our components. TKS carefully
monitors every stage of the products development process, from component
manufacturing to on-site inspection of delivered equipment by specialized
technicians.
TKS's machining centers are equipped with factory management systems and
sophisticated machine tools optimally maintained to perform high-precision
component processing. During the manufacturing of any component, no matter
how small, a good technician knows precisely how and where the component will
be used. A large web offset press is made up of hundreds of thousands of
components. A technician's keen eye can often see subtle nuances that
cannot be reflected in drawings.
TKS ensures the production of superior quality products by conducting inspec-
tions and measurements at each stage of component processing and assembly.
Data from inspections and testing is analyzed to assure optimal operation and
to provide information for new product development.
TKS works diligently at every step of the manufacturing, inspection, and
testing process to give our customers a competitive advantage for success.
