Back in 1974, when gas was 55 cents a gallon and a worker’s average annual income was about $10,900, his father, Charles, founded the company with a focus on the then solid service business in office intercoms and master antennas. Over those growing pain years and with myriad changes and advances in communications technologies, the business — then consisting of about two handfuls of employees — was critically challenged.
Overcoming the challenges in a big way, son Bradford Caron today continues the family business, Signet Electronic Systems Inc., now the largest privately held system integrator in New England with 140 employees; about $28-30 million in revenue; a 21,000 foot headquarters in Norwell, Mass.; and ranked on the SDM Top System Integrators list.
