Providing Intelligent Lighting Solutions for Challenging Environments
Founded in 1963 by Ken Hawkins, Kenall Manufacturing carved a niche within the industry by creating the first impact- and vandal-resistant lighting products, and continues that mission today by providing intelligent, durable and sustainable solutions to complex lighting problems. As the company’s second generation CEO & Chairman, Jim Hawkins has expanded the company’s vision to include sealed LED lighting for containment or clean spaces; high abuse lighting for public access areas; correctional, healthcare and transportation lighting; with the exciting additions of Indigo-Clean visible light disinfection and TekLink lighting controls.
Headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Kenall’s manufacturing facility is vertically integrated with fabrication and finishing departments and a certified UL Test Lab. A full circuit board design, testing, and assembly facility is also located within the complex. Kenall owns the proprietary tooling and patents related to our innovative designs. We have achieved a leadership position within the industry by conducting business with honesty, integrity, and fairness, while respecting and satisfying the interests and needs of our esteemed customers and associates.
As a result of our strategic vision and the dedication of our team, Kenall has emerged as one of the most respected independent lighting manufacturers in the industry. The company’s plan is to continue our growth by strengthening our leadership in existing product segments, while continuing to find new opportunities in other specialized areas of the specification-grade lighting market.
We are proud to say that Kenall products are manufactured in the USA and meet the guidelines established under the Buy American Act and the North American Free Trade Agreement. For a copy of our Certificate of Compliance, click here.
