Cover Design and Prototyping
To ensure that our customers receive exactly what they need we dispatch a "Shop in the Box" and our designers to build the prototype onsite! It saves time and the customer gets what they need and want each and every time! Not only that, it cuts weeks off the prototyping process!
Kennon Protects High Value Assets
Kennon's Design Capabilities
Kennon Products provides reliable, innovative solutions for protecting high value assets during shipping, use, and storage. Founded in 1984, Kennon Products has become a product leader in the aviation market.
Besides aircraft, high value assets may include water and land craft, scientific and mechanical equipment, armaments support equipment, etc. which are deployed to harsh environments, or one-of-a-kind, odd shaped, or odd sized objects.

Kennon specializes in designs which prevent corrosion, sand intrusion, scratching, heat build-up and damage caused by sunlight and ultraviolet light (UV), dust, rain, wind, etc.
Kennon is often called on to develop custom solutions to protect assets from unique hazards such as flying gravel, dust storms, road hazards, buffeting winds, freezing rain, etc., and to protect items that, because of their size and shape, can’t be crated, boxed or covered with an ordinary tarp.
Kennon's Accomplishments Include:
- Protected payloads with very delicate surface finishes from road hazards as they were transported across the country on the back of an oversized flat bed truck.
- Designed a reusable cover that can save thousands of man hours by eliminating the shrink wrapping process. The end result was a cover that installed in less time, didn't’t trap moisture, and was better for the health and safety of the installers. The reusable cover was also better for the environment than disposable shrink wrap.
- When a customer was facing a potential fine for ground contamination caused by engine wash, Kennon designed a wash water collection system that not only solved the problem, but saved valuable time.
- Kennon has been supporting our troops since Desert Storm. Almost every aircraft in the desert has one Kennon product or another keeping it safe from the damaging effects of the sun, heat or blowing sand.

Kennon clamp to replace the bonded click-stud as part of a significant cost reduction initiative (CRI)
Kennon's repositionable clamp was developed to replace bonded click-studs to secure insulating blankets and wiring to the airframe. Hundreds of click-studs are currently bonded to an airframe. They break off and each requires some two person-hours to attach. The new clamp is strong and installs in seconds.
