About Us

K&L Supply is a leading manufacturer and supplier of premium shop equipment, parts and tools throughout the world. New products are continually being developed and manufactured at K&L’s 55K sq. ft. facility in S. Korea. K&L is passionate in providing excellent service and premium products at prices dealers can afford.

This passion has grown K&L’s customer base to over 20K customers worldwide, something K&L is very proud of. Among its customers are major industry distributors as well as OEM’s like Yamaha, for which K&L is the exclusive OE tool manufacturer and supplier to dealers. K&L’s product quality and customer service set the company apart from its competition. K&L stands behind everything they make and they take care of people directly and right away — if there’s a problem with a product, K&L Supply will fix it or replace it.

Looking To The Future

K&L’s plan is clear: growth, in all forms. The company recently expanded to a new 100K sq. ft. facility in San Jose, CA featuring a larger warehouse and a new assembly line. K&L just launched a new website with a new dealer portal.

Customers will be able to log in, check real time inventory and place orders online. Simultaneously, K&L will continue its tradition of innovation by expanding its leading line of equipment for powersports and automotive shops while simultaneously increasing their product line with applications for all major OEM’s. The mission is very simple: continue to be the supplier of equipment, tools and hard parts for the powersports and automotive industry.
