Who are we?
IKG is recognized as the pioneer of the world grating industry, having invented the first grating products in New York City in the early 20th Century. IKG continues to lead the grating industry as one of the world’s foremost manufacturers of high-quality steel and aluminum bar grating, with several manufacturing plants throughout North America, and a network of direct sales personnel, distributors, and agents to serve both the domestic and international markets.
Metal bar grating has many applications but is primarily used as an industrial product because of its high strength, relative light weight, and design that allows for light flow and ventilation. See www.ikg.com for more details.
