Kimball Electronics was established in 1961 as the Jasper Electronics Manufacturing Company to build electronic organs for our then parent company, Jasper Corporation. Jasper Corporation later became Kimball International. During the late 1960's contract manufacturing began with the first Industrial contract from General Electric Appliances of Louisville, KY. As the electronics industry evolved, and Kimball expanded, Kimball Electronics did as well.
During the 1980's we became focused solely on contract electronic manufacturing services and expanded into the Automotive, Medical, and Public Safety markets and eventually became known as Kimball Electronics Group. Since that time, it has been our mission to be a worldwide Electronics Manufacturing Service Industry leader in providing superior services and technology while growing profitably. On October 31, 2014, Kimball Electronics was spun-off from parent company Kimball International and became a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ Global selec stock exchange under the Kimball Electronics name and symbol KE.
Today, Kimball Electronics is a leading contract manufacturer of durable goods electronics serving a variety of industries on a global scale. Kimball Electronics continues to make the customer the focus of everything we do and will continue to provide the highest industry quality through continuous improvement.
