Founded in 1937, Miller Dial originally began by manufacturing dials for the aerospace industry. Over time, the product line evolved to include membrane switches,

rubber keypads, a broad variety of other human-

machine interface components.

In 1946, Fred Nelson left Miller Dial and founded

Nelson Nameplate, manufacturing many of the same products as

Miller Dial.

In 2011, Superior Capital Partners acquired both Miller Dial and Nelson

Nameplate, and formed Nelson-Miller, Inc.
