Company Description

These days, keyboards on Kimball products are used for entering data, not making music. Once a leader in the domestic piano business, Kimball International has shed musical instruments for navigation systems, HVAC controls, and defibrillators. Kimball operates its company through two business segments. Its Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) unit sells contract electronics and electro-mechanical assemblies primarily to the transportation, medical, and industrial markets. The company's Furniture segment makes and markets furniture and cabinets for the office, hospitality, and retail industries. Combined, the founding Habig and Thyen families own some 52% of Kimball and fill its executive and board suites.

    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand is tied to consumer and business income. The profitability of individual computer companies depends on purchasing and production efficiencies, and on technological expertise. Large companies have economies of scale in purchasing and production. Small companies can compete successfully by specializing in certain products or by developing superior technology. The industry is capital-intensive: annual revenue per employee is about $460,000. US imports of computer equipment amount to nearly $100 billion, more than half from China. Exports are about $45 billion, with more than a third going collectively to Mexico and Canada.
