KEP leads the way in today’s product innovation, customer service and certified lean manufacturing. Our 60-year success story has expanded from American-made rubber latex tubing to high-quality thermoplastic and PVC tubing, dip-molded products, and non-latex Free-Band® tourniquets.
Our mission
Our mission is to recognize and exceed the expectations of our customer by providing the highest level of quality and service. We will seek continuous improvement in everything we do. We will provide a safe workplace in an environment of open communication and teamwork. We will comply with requirements and maintain the effectiveness of our Quality Management System.
