Taking Big Steps On Our Journey As A Premier Industrial Technology Company

In 2024, Knowles made significant strides in its transformation into a premier industrial technology company, dedicated to delivering high-performance components for the world’s most demanding applications. With deep engineering expertise, Knowles partners closely with customers, enabling innovation across sectors such as MedTech, defense, and industrial technologies. The company emphasizes customization at scale, blending the flexibility of a smaller manufacturer with the global reach and resources of a larger organization.

As part of this strategic evolution, Knowles acquired Cornell Dubilier (CD) in late 2023, adding a broad range of high-performance film, electrolytic, and mica capacitors to its portfolio. This integration complements its existing ceramic and thin film components, expanding capabilities and deepening Knowles’ ability to support complex customer requirements with a more diverse product offering.

To further sharpen its focus, Knowles also completed the sale of its consumer MEMS microphones (CMM) business to Syntiant Corp in December 2024. This move allows the company to concentrate fully on high-growth, mission-critical markets and reinforces its commitment to being a partner for customers creating cutting-edge technologies.

Looking ahead to 2025, Knowles plans to continue building on this foundation through strategic acquisitions and targeted initiatives. The company remains committed to developing and delivering technology that meets stringent requirements in the harshest conditions, helping customers bring their most ambitious innovations to life.
