Pivot International Company History
Pivot International was founded in 1972 in Lenexa, Kansas as an engineering design and product development company. In 1985, we became one of the first U.S.-based firms to explore global sourcing by opening a procurement office in Taiwan, followed by the establishment of a manufacturing division in the Philippines in 1989.
In 2012, we entered a period of significant growth in both our capabilities and global presence. New ownership was established while maintaining key management roles. Today, we are a global, single-source organization with operations across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Our areas of expertise include:
Our team now includes over 150 multi-disciplined engineers located in the U.S., Scotland, and Asia. We also operate 300,000 square feet of electronic manufacturing space spread across three continents. With more than 50 years of experience, Pivot International combines the convenience of working with a U.S.-based partner and the financial benefits of leveraging our in-house, offshore tooling, procurement, and manufacturing capabilities.
“Pivot’s growth strategy is an aggressive, calibrated approach to organic and acquired competencies, expertise, and assets to help customers meet market needs and global client needs most effectively.” – Mark Dohnalek, President and CEO of Pivot International
