The KTO process is a method of standardization aimed at reducing the number of part numbers. The DaimlerChryslter Fastener Engineering team created a KTO U-Nut family that consists of 6 part numbers and will replace over 30 existing part numbers. In addition to part number reduction, the KTO U-Nut family offers some performance improvements over existing products.
