Kilo International was founded in 1956 by Bob Gach in La Verne, California, USA. Headquartered in La Verne, the company specializes in the design and manufacture of high‑quality control knobs, dials, and accessories for electronic and industrial equipment. Its core business is precision mechanical components that interface between the user and electronic controls. The product portfolio includes several distinct series: the classic 800 Series analog dials with multi‑turn counting mechanisms, the 100/200/300 Series finger‑knob dials for potentiometer adjustments, and the 400/500/600/700 Series precision locking dials for critical settings. Kilo also offers a line of soft‑touch knobs under the ‘Soft‑K’ series for ergonomic applications. These products serve markets such as instrumentation, audio, medical devices, and military‑grade equipment. Over the decades, Kilo International has built a reputation for durability, readability, and precise tactile feedback. While it is a niche player compared to semiconductor giants, the company holds a leading position in the control dial and knob segment within the North American electronic components industry. Its long‑standing commitment to quality and customization keeps it a preferred supplier for OEMs and design engineers worldwide.
