Company History
Mallory Sonalert
has been headquartered in Indianapolis, IN since 2002. While we may
seem a relatively young company, Mallory Sonalert is the present
form of a company history dating back over 90 years.
The Mallory story began with the founding
of P.R. Mallory Co. in 1916, which manufactured tungsten wire
light bulb filaments. Throughout the years, the company
diversified and patented many electronic components including
batteries and capacitors, notably the tantalum capacitor in
1946.Through the 1940s when electronic gadgets
captured the imaginations of people worldwide, Mallory was
leading the way in development of components for this industry
and developing a strong reputation for quality.
The history of the Sonalert device began in
the early 1960s when Branson Potter was issued a patent for the
first practical electronic audible alarm device. When Mallory
purchased the rights to this technology, they quickly began
production of the SC628 alarm models the following year. That
component became the very foundation of the products engineered
even today.
In the last few years, Mallory has
continued to be a reliable source in the innovation of new
products for consumer electronics goods. We currently hold 12
active patents including those for our microcontroller
technology used within alarms. We have also developed new
technology such as back up alarms, alarms with terminal block
terminations, IEC60601-1-9 compliant alarms, alarms for
hazardous environments, and a new miniature speaker line all of which
provide our customers with unprecedented options to generate
alarm sounds.
Through the years, ownership of the company
has changed, the technology surrounding us has changed, and our
product lines have expanded and diversified, but our commitment
to detail and quality has remained the same. Almost a century
after it was conceived, Mallory Sonalert carries the PR Mallory
torch and a leadership role in the electronics industry. Its
strong-willed employees will see that it remains at the
forefront for decades to come.
