Activated carbon filtration systems and water treatment solutions
KX Technologies manufactures extruded activated carbon filters and custom filtration systems for water treatment. The tech stack—AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Minitab, AWS—reflects a manufacturing-first organization focused on product design, quality control, and process optimization. Hiring is heavily weighted toward production (7 manufacturing roles) with lighter engineering (2) and sales (2) coverage, and active projects center on lean continuous improvement, process automation, and new product launches, suggesting the company is optimizing existing operations while scaling manufacturing capacity.
