Despite the many advancements over the years, Knight continues to take an old- school approach to the fundamentals of doing business.

Being loyal to our distributors, making quality products, going above and beyond for our customers, providing the best lead time in the industry and continuing to manufacture in the U.S., that is what Knight is all about says founder Jim Knight.
