Miller Edge

Miller Edge is a privately held family business originally founded in 1936 by Norman K. Miller. Originally known as “Miller Brothers”, the company was formed in Philadelphia, PA.

Following his honorable discharge from the US Army, Norman received a phone call from General Merrill Burnside requesting him to develop a safety product for use on hangar doors at Wright Patterson Air Base in Ohio. Norman developed the product and was issued the first patent for an “Electrically Activated Safety Edge for Hangar Doors” in 1957.

Since then the Miller Edge product line has grown to include both touch sensitive and non-contact sensing devices as well as related controls and accessories. Miller Edge products can be found on driveway gates, storefront grills, mass transit vehicles, and in automated manufacturing plants.
