The Story Behind Keithley Instruments

In 1946, Joe Keithley had a crazy idea in his basement workshop – build measurement tools that could capture the tiniest electrical signals with dead-on accuracy. Other engineers told him it couldn’t be done. But Joe, with his characteristic stubborn streak, kept at it.
Fast forward to today. Walk into any serious electronics lab, and you’ll probably spot our equipment doing the heavy lifting. Whether it’s a team of researchers pushing the limits of quantum computing or manufacturers testing medical device components where every microvolt matters – they rely on Keithley’s rock-solid precision.
What keeps us going? It’s those “aha” moments when an engineer calls to tell us they finally cracked a thorny problem because our instrument caught something others missed. Or when a production line manager mentions they’ve been using the same Keithley system for 15 years without a hiccup.
Sure, we could talk about our specs and features (and they’re impressive, trust us). But what really drives us is knowing our tools help brilliant minds tackle the world’s toughest challenges – from renewable energy to breakthrough medical treatments. Because when you’re working at the cutting edge of what’s possible, you need measurements you can bet your reputation on.
That’s why, after 75+ years, we’re still obsessing over every decimal point. Just like Joe did in that basement workshop.
