WHO WE ARE
Engineered in Kentucky. Owned by the people who build it.
Every system that leaves our Kentucky floors carries the name of the people who designed it, welded it, wired it, and tested it. That's what 100% employee ownership looks like in practice not a tagline, but a 1,000-person accountability structure. We work directly with the engineers, contractors, and rep firms specifying high-performance buildings across North America. They get the manufacturer on the phone. Not a layer above it.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
CAPABILITIES
Two intergrated businesses. One source.
From the equipment that conditions the air to the structural curb that anchors it to the roof KCC designs and builds both, in-house.
Commercial Air Management
• AHRI 920compliant DOAS lesser than or equal to 43°F supply dewpoint, held across full and part load
• DX, chilled-water, and air- and water-source heat pump configurations
• SMRE2 ratings engineered to exceed ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC part-load benchmarks
• Dehumidification and energy recovery for industrial and CEA applications
​
Roofing Infrastructure
• Metal and conventional roof curbs and curb adapters for HVAC applications
• Stainless steel gutters, skylights, smoke vents, roof hatches, and walkways
• OEM partner to national HVAC manufacturers - nearly four decades supplying the market
• Butler Lifetime Partner Award recipient - the first such recognition issued

WHY KCC
01
Employee-Owned
100% employee-owned since 2008. the person who build your system is also the person who answers for it. That's not a slogan - it's how the company is structured.
02
Vertically Integrated
Air management and the structural curbs that anchor it - engineered, manufactured, and shipped from one source.
03
Standards Leadership
Multiple KCC engineers serve on the ASHRAE and AHRI committees that govern this equipment. The standards on our spec sheets aren't external - they're partly authored in-house.
04
50 Years of Manufacturing
Fifty years of in-house engineering, testing, and manufacturing built into every system we deliver.
INNOVATION
Investing in what the industry needs next.
From dedicated R&D infrastructure to strategic technology partnerships, KCC is building toward the next generation of high-performance, low-carbon commercial systems.
Simpsonville Campus
An 80-acre campus that includes a dedicated research and development operation supporting next-generation product development and 360,000 square feet state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

ENGINEERED CREDIBILITY
We help write the standards the industry builds to.
When the spec calls for AHRI 920, ASHRAE 90.1, or IAQ-driven design, KCC isn't reading those standards we're partly authoring them. More than twenty KCC engineers serve on ASHRAE technical committees governing dedicated outdoor air systems, energy recovery, indoor air quality, and the method-of-test standards that underpin AHRI certification. That seat at the table is what employee ownership and fifty years of in-house engineering buys.

The engineers we work with don't want a vendor. They want a manufacturing partner who has stood inside the standards conversations and can speak to what's coming next.
