CKD USA was incorporated in 1985 as a wholly owned subsidiary of CKD Corporation, Komaki, Japan, with the primary responsibility of providing sales and technical support for the Americas. The company's main product offerings are pneumatic components, semi conductor process components, indexing units, dryers, and general-purpose valves. These products are utilized in a wide variety of manufacturing environments, from the automotive industry to semiconductor manufacturing.

Products were previously sold through a division of Miller Fluid Power, Bensenville, Illinois, and the Wilkerson Corporation, Englewood, Colorado. On April 1, 2001, CKD Corporation divested itself of both Miller Fluid Power and the Wilkerson Corporation. At that time, CKD USA assumed full sales and support responsibility for these product lines.

The ability to service our customers is the most exciting opportunity presented by this divestiture. The results have not been disappointing. The attention and focus provided by our sales and support staff resulted in yearly sales increases and an expanding customer base. CKD USA's distribution network, combined with CKD Corporation's manufacturing capabilities, provides our customers with world-class solutions delivered anywhere in the Americas.
