Two decades ago in Melbourne, Australia, David Swann created Swann Communications by creating products in his garage.
From those humble beginnings, Swann Communications has now grown into a $40m a year multinational in the category of Do-It-Yourself home security.
โWith his love of technology, David started the company by designing IT products in his family home garage, said long-time friend and colleague, Keith Oldridge, the current Global CEO of Swann: โItโs amazing to think how far the company has come in such a short time. What we are most proud of is the decision we made to focus on the development of DIY security products. At the time, no one thought that consumers had any interest in securing their own homes or businesses. Itโs deeply gratifying know that our products are helping people around the world to secure their families, homes and businesses.โ
Keith Oldridge said: โEach year we continue to develop more technologically advanced yet user-friendly security products; we take great pride in creating a range of products that can satisfy all of our customerโs needs. Just this last year, Swann launched the security industryโs first dual wired and wireless camera, new H264 level compression recording, a variety of all-in-one security kits and we are at the cutting edge of new digital wireless technology."
Offices are in Australia, United States, England, China, Hong Kong and distribution partners across Europe, South America, Central America, Africa and Asia. โItโs been our goal to establish offices around the world so we are better able to service our distributors, resellers and ultimately our customers,โ said Oldridge. โWe have assembled a terrific team and we look to continue our expansion around the globe as Swannโs sales team is committed to opening new markets for our organisation.โ
"We want to thank all our customers and channel partners for their continuing support over the last 20 years and we look forward to more of the same in the future," Oldridge said.
