Built on trust, driven to win, and engineered to solve your complex design and time-to-market challenges.
The electronics industry moves at F1 speed — but your market share should grow at a steady clip. Who do you partner with to penetrate a market and get your parts placed without a hitch?
KILFOIL has been the answer to this question since 1948. We’ve built an electronics ecosystem so your parts can hit the market and power solutions for the customer.
The KILFOIL story began in a partnership with Speer Electronics (now KOA Speer) to support their initial expansion into the Midwest electronics market. Seven decades and several targeted acquisitions later, we have grown our market partner network – our line card – into a premier electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
We hold ourselves accountable to execution metrics that protect your margins, your timelines, and your engineering integrity.
We tackle your objectives quickly and effectively. We compete to win. We operate with urgency.
We hold the highest ethical standards. We live by honesty and do not compromise integrity or values for short-term gain.
We go out of our way to care for our partners and employees. We build an environment where everyone can thrive. KILFOIL is a family and our market partners are part of it.
We value long-term relationships. We provide our partners with products, services and people of the highest quality in a long-term win for both of us.
We are passionate advocates to improve your competitive advantage. We only win if you win.
There’s a place in the market for both of us – after all, we are partners! Our differences stem from our business model. At KILFOIL, we only win if you win: because your product is the only one of its type we carry, whereas a distributor will carry more than one manufacturer per product. That means we are tightly focused on the success of your specific product.
Moreover, we get to know our manufacturers as well as we know our customers. We know your designs, your process, and your culture from the inside. This knowledge helps us achieve long term wins between manufacturer and customer. Where distributors tend to focus on fulfillment, we seek the optimal placement of your parts in great designs to ensure a long term fit.
