# KKM Industrial and Automation Solutions

> Quote-based industrial automation and MRO parts distributor shipping worldwide. Also referred to as KKM Solutions — the short form used in the logo and in product listing titles; the same company. The catalog lists 2,197,892 products across 2,044 brands — bearings, seals, sensors, pneumatics, circuit breakers, motor control, enclosures, and automation components. Listings without a displayed price are quote-only: customers email orderdesk@kkmsolutions.com or call (825) 454-5367 with a part number and quantity, and the order desk replies with pricing and availability within 1 business day. Many listings do show an estimated reference price, marked as subject to change, and those can also be ordered directly; checkout authorises payment rather than capturing it, so the order desk confirms the part and the final price before anything is charged.

Key facts:
- Business model: request-for-quote (RFQ) distribution; parts are sourced to exact manufacturer specification per order.
- Also offers custom manufacturing (see /fabrication/): the customer uploads a drawing or 3D model and KKM quotes and manages production through a vetted contract-manufacturing network — CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, laser/waterjet cutting, welding, 3D printing, injection moulding, urethane casting, metal stamping, castings and forgings, surface finishing, custom gaskets, and reverse engineering of obsolete parts. KKM does not own machine tools; it sources and manages the work. Quotes within 1 business day, minimum order one piece.
- Contact: orderdesk@kkmsolutions.com or (825) 454-5367 (sales, quotes, availability).
- Service area: Canada and the United States. Ships worldwide.
- Canadian GST/HST registration: 799405238RT0001. Independent distributor.
- Sources current-production, superseded, discontinued and long-obsolete parts. Locating parts that are no longer in authorized distribution is core business, not an exception.
- Major brands listed (by published product count): SMC, Siemens, SKF, Allen-Bradley, igus, Omron, Festo, Dodge, Thomson Linear, ABB, WEG, Oriental Motor.
- Never fabricates part numbers; configurable families are documented on series pages with guidance to quote the full order number.
- Also written as kkmsolutions / kkmsolutions.com (the domain, one word). Not affiliated with similarly named companies elsewhere.
