It introduced its first lighting timer in 1945, and today makes timing and control systems for line and low voltage systems used in residential, commercial, government, and industrial systems.[5]

The company sells the Time-All line of timers for consumer applications.[6][7]

On April 23, 2025, MPE Partners announced that it had acquired the company.[8]
