 KIMBALL ELECTRONICS IN REYNOSA

Kimball Electronics is a company originally from Jasper, Indiana, established for 50 years in Reynosa, Tamaulipas. This company is dedicated to the manufacture of electronic assemblies for the automotive, medical, industrial and public safety markets.

Kimball Electronics México, SA de CV began operations in October 1972 in Reynosa, Tamaulipas; back then it was known as Kimco and they were dedicated to making grand pianos.

By the early 1980s, electronics were beginning to have more of a presence in the market, so Kimball's production moved, and from manufacturing pianos they began to produce electronic harnesses for this instrument. 

In addition, with the arrival of electronics, they directed the business towards the automotive sector and the piano was left alone as part of the company's history.

The Reynosa plant is the largest and is the one with the longest presence in the city. Globally, Kimball has a presence in Asia, Europe and North America. There are three plants in the US; one in Jasper, where the corporate is located; another in Indianapolis, capital of Indiana; and one more in Tampa, Florida.
