KTC proudly supports America's Force and champions the ideal of 'Made in the USA'.

The new facility provides necessary space for the continuous expansion of the Kipper Companies which includes Kipper Tool Company and Kipper Technologies, Kipper Media, and Kipper Logistics Systems International, and our 16,000 square foot walk-in retail store. To meet the needs of its growing government customer base KTC recently moved its headquarters into a new 300,000 square foot facility. It is engineered in three modules to meet the need of each level of maintenance. SATS is constructed with all the benefits of the GMTK but on a much larger scale. In order to provide SATS to the US Army, Kipper has teamed with AAR Mobility System to provide a state of the art mobile tool shelter. SATS is replacing the large outdated Organizational Direct Support and General Support Tool Kits known as the 'SHOP EQUIPMENT, AUTOMOTIVE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR: ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE, COMMON NO.1' with supplements. The Standard Automotive Tool Set (SATS) contract was awarded to KTC in May of 2004. KTC also provides a number of SKO through the General Services Administration and the Defense Logistics Agency for management and distribution throughout the Department of Defense. After rigorous testing and proven on-the-job reliability, the KTC GMTK System can be found in the hands of the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen of our Armed Forces around the world today. When redesigning the tool box for the GMTK, the Kipper configuration revolutionized the SKO approach. The GMTK is one of the military's principal required tool systems and Kipper has fielded over 57,000 of the GMTK in service today. The KTC - General Mechanics Tool Kit (GMTK) is the cornerstone of the SKO program. As a result, Kipper has received 2 of the largest contract awards the US Army has ever made to a Woman-Owned Small Business for our General Mechanics Tool Kit and the new Standard Automotive Tool Set.
