About Kinetic Technologies
Built to Solve Real Manufacturing Problems
At Kinetic Technologies, we design and integrate robotic welding systems that meet real production demands. From simulation to on-site training, we help manufacturers automate, so they can boost throughput, improve quality, and grow without compromise.
Who We Are
We’re a team of builders and engineers based in Algona, Iowa, large enough to tackle complex automation projects, yet small enough to move fast. We bring practical insight, a strong work ethic, and a deep commitment to doing things right.
Kinetic Technologies takes pride in building long-term partnerships and delivering robotic welding systems that perform where it counts—on the shop floor.
Our Values
At Kinetic Technologies, our values aren’t just posters on the wall. They guide how we work, how we lead, and how we serve.
Integrity Beyond Reproach
We live by a simple honor code: never lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate anyone who does. Trust is earned, and we protect it at all costs.
Quality
We show integrity through our work. Whether we’re building a weld cell or writing code, quality runs through every detail.
Servant Leadership
We succeed by helping others succeed. That includes our customers, employees, vendors, and community. We lead by listening and showing up.
Dream Big, Achieve Greatness
When we act with integrity and serve others, we free ourselves to chase big goals and build breakthrough solutions.
Why Manufacturers Work With Us
Every system we build is designed to drive measurable results: better throughput, consistent quality, and faster time to production.
Final-Mile Focus
We stay involved until your system produces consistent, qualified parts, not just until it powers on.
Custom Systems, Built on Proven Foundations
We start with pre-engineered cells and trusted components, then tailor every detail, from tooling to HMIs, to fit your parts, workflow, and team. This speeds up deployment while ensuring the system is right for your operation.
Deep Welding Expertise
Our team includes certified weld engineers and process experts who understand fixturing, materials, and what real production demands are.
Simulation-Led Design
We don’t guess. We validate reach, access, cycle time, and part fit-up with digital tools before we build anything.
Proven Process, Certified for Quality
Our ISO 9001:2015-certified commitment to quality ensures traceability, consistency, and reliability from quoting to commissioning, so nothing gets missed and every detail meets spec.
Made in the Midwest
We build and support our systems out of Algona, Iowa, with boots on the ground when you need us.
