About Korry
Korry has been a trusted name in human-machine interface (HMI) solutions since 1937 when the company created the first lighted cockpit controls for the developing military and commercial aircraft industry.
The Korry product team continues this tradition as it develops the crew station of the future, providing state-of-the-art switches, cockpit controls, night-vision filters, and high-performance KDM displays.
Every Korry solution integrates our expertise in optics, electronics and software, mechanical packaging, mechanism design, and human factors. In addition, we continually perfect our own proprietary materials and processes for leading-edge performance.
