Kerbodyne is a rocket part manufacturer that makes huge rocket parts.

Lately they started manufacturing drills and resource converters.

Agency description

Although Kerbodyne is a relatively new name in the aerospace industry, their K series engines and fuel tanks have earned them a quite a reputation in a short amount of time. So much so in fact, that Kerbodyne was nominated for the "Best Debut" Award, at last year's Spacecraft Developers Convention. Unfortunately, that prize went to another company, but Kerbodyne fans are known to demonstrate loudly and publicly, their appreciation for the company and its products.

Trivia

Their name is likely a reference to real-world American aerospace company Rocketdyne, makers of many engines used in the Space Race and on to the present day. The fact that Kerbodyne make the biggest engines is perhaps attributable to the fact that Rocketdyne engines were used for all three stages of the Saturn V, the largest rocket ever launched.
