inside tour of Katech (photos)

This was constructed for our existing and potential dealers, but I thought I would share it with you guys

so you can get an inside look at Katech.


Most people, when touring Katech, are astounded by the sheer size of our operations. Our shop is a

bustling hub of activity with 47 employees working on all kinds of exciting projects. Here is a brief

gallery of what Katech looks like.

fabrication, manual machining, engine build room, cylinder head room, parts washing room, dyno test
