KAHN

Founded by Irving I. Kahn in 1945, The Kahn Companies have remained a family-owned enterprise for two generations. After emigrating from Germany in 1938, Kahn saw an opportunity to put his mathematics and physics background to use. He developed an electronic speed-measuring device which later evolved into a complete product line of electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic test equipment for the aerospace industry. An entrepreneur keenly interested in emerging technologies, Kahn was actively involved in new product development until his retirement in 1980... For the U.S. Navy, Kahn has provided portable hygrometers to measure the moisture content of dry nitrogen which serves as an insulating gas surrounding the optics on submarine periscopes. Low dewpoint coupled with little volume made this difficult application an interesting and ultimately successful challenge... The Kahn Companies consist of three corporations operating as a group. Founded in 1945, The Kahn Companies are privately held..
