Knape & Vogt partners with Samet
Knape & Vogt (KV) Manufacturing Company, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, entered into an exclusive agreement with Samet A.S. to bring four new product categories to market: Hinge systems, lift systems, drawer box systems, and fittings.
“The addition of these products to the KV portfolio will allow us to offer a more complete set of solutions to our customers,” said Nino M. Granatiero, VP/GM of KV Industrial.
