Kinetics Industries Pte Ltd was incorporated in June 2003 to manufacture and market a unique non-slip stainless steel grade 316 tactile ground surface indicator.
Based in the Republic of Singapore, our company specialises in the research and development, manufacture, production and installation of stainless steel tactile ground surface indicators.
These tactile indicators are used to assist in the movement of those who are blind and vision impaired.
Our business philosophy is simple and is encapsulated in the following 5 principles:
- Make it Our Own – Your challenge is our challenge and we are here to help you solve it.
- Everything Matters – We work with our partners for a win/win solution.
- Surprise and Delight– We love to surprise and delight our customers.
- Efficient and Reliable – We are fast in our turnaround times and you can count on us for all your tactile needs.
- Leave Our Mark – We are proud of our tactile indicators and our testimonials are the many “marks – tactile indicators” that we have installed in mass rapid transit stations, in shopping malls, and in public institutions such as hospitals and schools.
We are a supplier and installer for Stainless Steel Tactile Stud and Strip and also Homogeneous Unglazed Ceramic Tactile Tile. Our tactile indicators have been used extensively in Asia, from Singapore to Dubai, in mass rapid transits , commercial buildings, shopping malls, residential condominiums, and places of higher learning.
Our tactile indicators used in MRT projects and are approved by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
Our tactile indicators have been widely used by the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Stations in Singapore. The tactile indicators are manufactured under strict supervision and control, tested and approved by PSB Corporation and bear the PSB Test Mark.
The stainless steel studs or strips are commonly used indoors. Due to its high-quality finish, luminance and aesthetic appeal, many architects prefer the use of stainless steel studs/strips for indoor applications.

Kinetics Stainless Steel Tactile Indicators are unique in many aspects:
1. Anti-slip. Our tactile indicators are tested in accordance to strict international guidelines by PSB Corporation of Singapore. Tactile indicators with the proprietary diamond-shaped top surface design are slip-resistant when wet.
2. Rust-proof. Stainless Steel 316 grade of the highest quality is chosen for its high resistance to pitting and corrosion under most environmental conditions. Our products undergo vigorous tests such as the salt spray test.
3. Have a minimum 30% luminance contrast so that the vision impaired (not blind) can detect the indicators.
4. Aesthetically designed. The tactile indicators are machine-finished to fit snugly against the face of the granite into which they are fixed. Our tactile indicators are used in MRT stations, shopping centres, hospitals and schools.
5. Strongly anchored to the ground to prevent the tactile indicators from loosening. The product is cold forged from one piece of metal i.e. without any welding. The ribbed shanks of the tactile indicators allow the indicators to be strongly fitted to the flooring and withstand rough usage.
