In 1916, Gustav Adolph Ring, Sr. founded the company in his native Norway. Ring’s son, Gustav Ring, Jr., came to America in the early 1900s to work for the famous Edison Electric Company where he helped develop the “Televoice”, commonly known as the “squawk-box”, which was the forerunner of today’s intercom system.

By the early 1950's, Ring Communications’ ongoing research developed a centralized audio switching system, crossbar multi-switching and introduced transistorized circuits to their intercom units.  With thousands of systems installed in Europe, Ring began to export “Ring-Master” intercom systems to the rest of the world.

By the 1960s, Ring Communications, Inc. came to North America.  The “Tri-Phone” was the world’s first one-piece loud and soft speaking intercom, and its concept and basic principles have been adopted as a standard by the entire intercom and telephone industries.

In 1969, Peter McLean, the President of a successful Canadian electronics firm, began distributing Ring Communications’ intercom systems throughout Canada. He moved to New York in 1983 and became Vice President of Ring Communications in 1985.

In the 1980's, Ring Communications was heavily involved in Emergency 911 telecommunication systems. Towards the end of the 1980's a marketing decision was made to divert those technologies and utilize them to enhance the functions, features and reliability of Ring's intercom products.

On September 16, 1988 Peter McLean and two long-standing key New York Ring executives, Craig Krsanac, who joined the company in 1977 and serves as Vice President; and Kjell Solem, who joined Ring in 1974 and is the company’s Vice President; purchased Ring Communications’ North American operations from the parent company in Norway. Today, Ring Communications, Inc. manufactures the majority of the Intercom systems it offers. .

Today, Ring’s products are brought to market quickly and with the flexibility needed to meet the special requirements that the markets we serve demand. The products that are developed and assembled in Ring’s New York facility proudly wear the “Made in the USA” emblem.

The future of Ring Communications, Inc. shines brightly, and is reflected in our continuously expanding distribution network… the many exciting new products under development… our outstanding technical advancements... and our commitment to quality and service.
