About KMC Controls
Founded in 1969 by Ken Kreuter, KMC Controls began as a manufacturer of damper actuators, pneumatic-electric switches, and logic relays through private-label contracts with OEM partners. Over the years, KMC expanded its product line to include variable air volume controllers and actuators, eventually growing into a 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in New Paris, Indiana. By 1996, KMC became a global distributor, driving expansion and product development in international markets. In 1997, the company earned ISO 9001 certification, later upgrading to ISO 9001:2015. A major milestone came in 2004 with the release of KMC’s BACnet® open-protocol controllers, further solidifying its position as a leader in building automation technology. Today, KMC Controls continues to provide cutting-edge automation solutions, prioritizing quality, innovation, and open-platform systems to meet the evolving demands of modern building management.
