Do you remember 1986? ... The Chernobyl disaster. ... Greg LeMond, not Lance Armstrong, wins the Tour de France... Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev meet in Reykjavík, Iceland.... The NY Mets defeat the Boston Red Sox in 7 games in the World Series... The Iran - Contra affair. ... Kentech Inc. is incorporated in Massachusetts.
Has it really been 25 years? In April of 1986, Kentech Inc. was incorporated in Massachusetts. Originally providing CNC machine repair services ... we quickly branched out to provide not only repair but application services such as contract programming and CNC programming and operation training. Being contracted by many machine tool builders and dealers throughout the Northeast U.S., we were in the shop every day, touching and learning all the newest technologies.
Being "in the trenches" also gave us the ability to clearly see all the "real world" tools that were missing. Tools like fast, easy, efficient shop floor programming software and real world cycletime and job costing software to take the guesstimating out of quoting and estimating. We realized that these were not unique to our customers, but were a much needed commodity throughout the metalworking world.
So ... using our real CNC, business and chipmaking experience we started development of a line of real world metalworking software to fill those gaps. Not with the most bells and whistles ... not with the highest price tags ... but with the features that made them easy-to-use, efficient, powerful ... built for the real world.
Now, 25 years later , our Kipware® software is sold throughout the world. Our "real world" concept and design philosophy has been proven successful over and over by our customers. We are proud that we passed the test of time over these 25 years ... but our biggest pride comes from the fact that our customers prosper and become more efficient every day from the tools we envisioned and created.
