About Seller: Established by Irving I. Kahn in 1945, The Kahn Companies have remained a family-owned business for two generations. After immigrating from Germany in 1938, Kahn recognized an opportunity to apply his expertise in mathematics and physics. He developed an electronic speed-measuring device that eventually led to a comprehensive range of electronic, hydraulic, and pneumatic test equipment for the aerospace industry. An entrepreneur with a strong interest in emerging technologies, Kahn actively participated in new product development until his retirement in 1980. Upon assuming leadership of The Kahn Companies, Jeffrey and David Kahn, both Harvard Business School graduates, have continued their father's legacy by focusing on innovation and commercial viability. The company transitioned to computer-aided design (CAD) in the mid-1980s under their guidance. In the early 1990s, The Kahn Companies implemented finite element analysis (FEA), rotor dynamics analysis, and other technical software programs in their engineering department. This cutting-edge capability, regularly updated, equips The Kahn Companies with the necessary technical tools to thrive in the high-technology landscape of the 21st century.
