KML has grown from a single laminating press that produced about 600 panels a day to currently running two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Tacoma, WA and Stockton, CA, producing more than 4,000 panels daily. Despite its growth, KML still services customers with smaller runs of any number of the 800 patterns and textures available to them. Matching edge banding, slot wall, high pressure laminate and bonded panels are available. KML Corp. also offers machined component parts.
KML is proud to be certified in accordance to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for our vigilant use of natural resources and our commitment to preserving a healthy environment. We realize that our earth's natural resources are limited, therefore KML is committed to manufacturing responsibly by using 100% pre-consumer recycled wood fiber. We stock core that has no added urea formaldehyde resins, and many of our products contribute to LEED credits. GREENGUARD certified overlays available upon request.
