Commitment to the Aviation Industry
Our story began with aviation. Since 1957, airports and airbases have trusted Miller Edge to help meet safety standards and protect what matters most. Our founder, Norman K. Miller, patented the first electrically activated safety edge for hangar doors at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. That invention laid the foundation for a product line that now includes both touch-sensitive and non-contact sensing solutions used around the world.
More than sixty years later, Miller Edge continues to work closely with airport and airbase leadership, facilities teams, architects, and OEMs to support both new construction and retrofit projects. Our team understands the regulatory demands and performance expectations aviation professionals face every day.
Miller Edge is more than a supplier—we’re your partner in safety.
