Company Profile
"For about $7 to $8, we've been able to incorporate this new system onto the BX-4, address customers' concerns of protecting workers, and provide a platform that masons can continue to use and that they're familiar with," Brian explained.
"We're trying to take little bites out of the apple and trying to provide customers with those things that are cost effective, easy to use, but yet again with the idea that ultimately the person we're trying to protect is the worker that sees the benefit of cutting dry and who does not want to use water," he continued. "With the BX-4, the misting system provides all the benefits of dry cutting with a patent-pending dust control system."
Community and Industry Involvement
INVOLVEMENT in safety doesn't stop with the products. MK Diamond is committed to remaining up-to-date on the latest industry safety trends.
"I am a member of several different committees trying to understand the needs of the industry, where the industry is and what it needs to grow," Brian explained. "The most important committee that I sit on is the Silica Task Force. I try to participate in as many safety-type functions as I can. I'm also on the AEM Safety Council and I have just joined ASTM. As an industry leader, it is important to try to work with each of these committees to address the issue of silicosis for construction safety requirements."
MK Diamond's commitment to technological innovation and personal safety has won the company several awards. Last year, it was voted the Los Angeles Business Journal Small Business of the Year. The company has also been voted Home Depot Vendor of the Year - twice.
