Company Profile
MK Diamond Products was born in 1982, recognizing the two families that had owned the company previously - Musto and Kennan.
"Primarily, it was my father's vision becoming an equipment manufacturer, focusing on equipment, and focusing on the masonry industry that the company began to get some legs and establish itself," Brian said.
"We cover many different markets now," he added. "We tend to think of ourselves as a progressive company, always striving to come up with some new ideas."
"We're not the biggest in the industry, by any stretch of the imagination, but what we do within those channels, such as tile and masonry, which are two main focuses, we do well."
Commitment to Innovation
MK DIAMOND has made it a goal to listen to customer desires and design innovative products that meet these needs.
In January 2005, MK Diamond introduced a revolutionary new blade the Diamatrix, or DMX. This product utilizes positive diamond placement, which physically arranges the diamonds to the orientation of the cut direction and aligns them by row. Brian explained that positive placement creates a much more effective cutting surface that creates phenomenal results compared to traditional diamond blades.
This month, the company is preparing to launch the BX-4, a revised version of the BX-3 masonary saw line that incorporates a misting system to cut down on airborne dust and other operator enhancing features.
"[The BX-4] is kind of a hybrid between the wet cutting and dry cutting masonry saw," Brian explained. "The BX-4 uses a mist generator that is encapsulated in the blade guard, reducing the dust by 75 to 80 percent."
In listening to its customers, MK Diamond understands that contractors want the best for their workers, but that many safety features are costly, impractical, less efficient or often difficult to use properly by workers.
