The Difference We Make
Haydon Kerk Pittman became a part of the AMETEK family of businesses since 2010, providing customers with innovative products that revolutionize the world we live in.
HKP has an illustrious history of innovation that dates all the way back to the 1930s with the founding of Pittman – a manufacturer of small precision DC motors and gear motors. Twenty years later, Haydon Switch and Instrument was established to produce aircraft sealed switches, and later developed a portfolio of stepper motor-based actuators. In the 1970s, Kerk Motion Products was founded and began producing rolled leadscrews and molded nuts for the growing machine and process automation industries, later developing complete linear guides systems and linear stages with anti-backlash features.
The three business lines catered primarily to machine builders by offering seemingly infinite customization combinations. This common business model was one of the reasons AMETEK combined the three businesses to produce complete linear and rotary motion solutions.
