"When one of our engineering labs decided to close their door I was worried I would not be able to find a proper replacement. Kent Engineering was eager to take on the challenge and we quickly formed a very valuable partnership. The open communication and close attention to detail left me very confident in the transition. I have no hesitation when calling them for any welding engineering needs I may have."
