Making a Difference: Our Community Involvement
At KMA CORPORATION, our work has always been about more than lifting equipment or supporting major industrial projects. From the day we began in 2001, our company has grown through strong relationships, responsible leadership, and a commitment to the people we serve. Today, with operations across Central America, the United States, and Europe, we continue to carry those same values into every community we touch.
Hurricane Relief and Emergency Support
Supporting Families During Major Storm Damage
Location: Houston and surrounding regions
Houston’s weather can be unpredictable, and when a major storm strikes, the impact on families can be overwhelming. When recent hurricanes caused widespread damage across the city, our team quickly mobilized to support affected neighborhoods. Fallen trees, damaged roofs, blocked streets, and unsafe conditions required immediate attention, and we stepped in with the lifting knowledge and equipment needed to help families recover safely.
Our crews evaluated hazards, cleared dangerous debris, and used specialized lifting equipment to remove trees from homes and properties. Our efforts continued for weeks, working long hours every day to ensure families regained safe access to their homes and yards. Each lift and removal represented another step in helping the community rebuild.
This experience reinforced how crucial it is for local businesses with the right tools and expertise to step forward during emergencies. At KMA CORPORATION, we are proud to support our community with the same dedication we bring to our large-scale industrial operations.
Storm Emergency Response Across Houston
Fast, Coordinated Support When the City Needs It Most
Location: Greater Houston and nearby communities
Another major storm brought powerful winds and heavy rain across Houston, leaving many residents and businesses facing severe damage. Our team immediately launched emergency response operations, knowing how critical it was to restore safety and accessibility as quickly as possible.
We collaborated with several response teams to manage the heavy demand for assistance, offering support through our lifting equipment, transportation expertise, and trained operators. Together, we removed fallen trees, cleared access routes, and addressed displaced systems such as HVAC units and rooftop equipment.
Using the same advanced lifting solutions we apply to major construction, mining, and energy projects, we helped secure and reposition equipment for grocery stores, restaurants, and commercial buildings across the region. Our goal was to help Houston regain stability and to support businesses working hard to reopen their doors.
These efforts demonstrated how technical expertise, proper equipment, and teamwork can make a meaningful impact during citywide emergencies. Supporting our community will always remain a core part of who we are.
Community Events and Educational Outreach
Tons of Trucks Community Event
Location: Houston, Texas
At KMA CORPORATION, we believe in inspiring the next generation while strengthening bonds within our community. That’s why we proudly participate in influential local events, including the annual Tons of Trucks gathering. This event brings families together, allowing children and adults to interact with real construction, engineering, and lifting equipment in a safe, hands-on environment.
We bring one of our cranes to the event, offering demonstrations and guided tours where kids can see up close how lifting and construction equipment play a role in building roads, structures, and entire communities. Many children leave inspired, excited, and curious about engineering and the skilled work behind large projects.
For us, these events are about more than showcasing equipment. They represent opportunities to share knowledge, build trust, and connect with families in meaningful ways. As a company with a long-standing legacy of shaping infrastructure across continents, we are proud to bring that experience back to our local communities.
