In the early 1960s, two motorcycle racers, Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald (K&N), developed a new idea for an air filter. After experimenting with numerous types of filter media, they discovered that an oiled cotton design allowed the filter to capture contaminants very efficiently and allowed it to be washed and reused, and the original K&N High-Flow Air Filter was born. Five decades later, K&N Engineering is still providing filtration technology for everything from top-fuel dragsters to commuter vehicles.
K&N Engineering products are designed and manufactured on-site. K&N is headquartered in Riverside, California, in a building complex spanning nearly 400,000 square feet, and also operates facilities worldwide. K&N facilities include engineering, product design, manufacturing, warehousing, test facilities, purchasing, sales, customer service, marketing and corporate offices. In addition to performance air filters, K&N manufactures various other protection and performance products, including air intake systems, oil filters, fuel filters, cabin air filters and home air filters.
