The shops, the holdings, the platform.
K+G Industrial Group is the operating brand. Underneath are two precision-machining shops, a holding company, and the ERP platform that runs all of it. Here's who's who, where they sit, and what each does.
KG Alliance Holdings
The parent company. Chicago, Illinois. Home to platform engineering, K+G Ai ERP development, operations leadership, and corporate functions — accounting, admin, legal, sales.
What lives in Chicago
The technology backbone behind every shop in the network: K+G Ai ERP development, AI quoting + scheduling research, customer-success operations, and the rollup playbook for adding new niche shops to the network.
Why downtown
Engineering talent in Chicago is deep. Logistics and supply chain access is excellent. Proximity to both Wisconsin and Illinois operating shops makes weekly site visits routine, not exceptional.
Burton Machining
K+G's Racine, Wisconsin shop. The operating name Wisconsin buyers know — now part of the K+G Industrial Group network.
What runs at Burton
Precision CNC machining for industrial, agricultural, and OEM customers across the upper Midwest. Strong machining and fabrication bench with a customer base built over years of consistent delivery in the Racine area.
Inside the K+G network
Burton Machining operates under K+G Industrial Group with full access to the K+G Ai ERP platform — AI quoting, predictive scheduling, Part DNA across the network, and the same AS9100D-aligned quality system that runs on the Illinois shop floor. Customers ordering from Burton get the same delivery discipline as customers ordering from Klapperich.
Klapperich Tool
Klapperich Tool Inc. — Elgin, Illinois. A 27-year precision-machining shop, founded 1998. Acquired by K+G Alliance Holdings in 2026.
Why Klapperich is the live proving ground
50+ machines. CNC milling, turning, OD/ID/jig grinding, wire and sinker EDM, TIG/MIG welding, full design-build automated assembly. Hundreds of combined years of machinist + engineering experience. The kind of deep, irreplaceable craft that separates world-class shops from everyone else.
What changed under K+G
Klapperich is now both an operating shop and the active testing ground for K+G Ai ERP — 50+ machines validating AI quoting, predictive scheduling, Part DNA, and AI inspection under real-world production pressure. The craft stayed; the software amplified what the team could do with it.
K+G Ai ERP
The software that runs every shop in the K+G network. AI quoting, predictive scheduling, Part DNA, live FLOOOM costing, AI inspection planner. Built by K+G, for K+G — and now licensed externally.
What it does
Quote in 24 hours instead of 4.6 days. Schedule in 4 minutes instead of 4 hours. First-article inspection paperwork drops from 11 hours per shipment to 14 minutes. Every job is part-DNA'd so Run 4 is dramatically better than Run 1. The platform learns from every job and never forgets.
