Senior Vice President Global Sales and Marketing

Since 1946, KSR has been an industry leader in designing, engineering and manufacturing of fixed pedal modules, electronic throttle controls, automotive sensors, steering ECUs and power modules. KSR redefined the traditional fixed pedal business back in 1957. Since then we have defined industry standards in brake pedal modules, traditional fixed systems and advanced adjustable systems. Each of our systems integrates brake, accelerator and clutch pedals in one engineered system. In 2014, KSR expanded its bumper-to-bumper product portfolio when it acquired a leading supplier of custom control modules and systems for power conversion and electric drive motors. With eight worldwide locations on three continents, KSR's global footprint includes manufacturing facilities in North America, UK, mainland Europe and Asia. Sales, R & D and engineering offices are in Canada, US, Germany, UK and China. KSR is an industry leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of an array of products for the transportation industry (autos, light trucks, ATVs), including automotive sensors, electronic throttle controls, adjustable and fixed pedals, electric steering control units and power modules.
