Our Story
It all started in 1984.
Back then, Kimco Controls was a local partnership company that worked as a companion service to a mechanical contracting firm. The pool of skill and talent was there and through dedicated hard work proving their expertise in the building management system sector, Kimco grew to the HVAC, automation and electrical leaders they are today.
Nearly 40 years later, Kimco Controls is owned by experts in their fields who all started as employees themselves. Living their company’s values, Kimco promotes from within and provides rigorous training programs that keep staff moving forward in their careers and at the top of their field.
Passionate about technology, Kimco is constantly innovating to provide cutting-edge smart building automation solutions. Nearly four decades up to now is just the beginning of the Kimco story as they continue to push the boundaries of building control systems for a greener tomorrow.
