Alan Forman, President of Altronix Corp tells SJA about how the company will grow in the future.

Can you tell me about yourself and your role?

My career in the professional security industry began as a system installer in the New York tri-state region, which ultimately led me to forming my own company monitoring and servicing residential and commercial end-users.

Shortly after, I had the good fortune to connect with a bright electrical engineer, Jonathan Sohnis and together we founded Altronix.

It seems like yesterday, but it was almost 40 years ago that Altronix was established.

I’m responsible for sales and marketing, while my partner focuses on engineering and manufacturing.

Now nearing our 40^th anniversary, the company has maintained its ability to deliver the exceptional quality, innovation and unparalleled customer support that has earned our company’s reputation as the gold standard in low voltage electronics.

What industry trends do you think are most important at the moment?

Power and data distribution systems that are easy to integrate and install while conserving valuable wall and rack space, and are scalable for future system expansion, are in high demand.

A perfect example of this is the recent deployment of Altronix Trove access and power integration solutions at the new UBS Arena in Elmont on Long Island, NY.

This project includes over 600 locks across 470 doors employing approximately 50 Altronix Trove access and power integration solutions located in 16 IDFs, saving much of the space, time and costs that would have otherwise been required of such a large project.

This massive destination venue continues to grow in size and scale with the development of the new expansive Belmont Park Village shopping and dining complex across the street from the UBS Arena, which will include 140 doors requiring 22 IDF closets that will also house Altronix Trove power and access integration solutions.

What makes Altronix stand out in the market?

There is a unique corporate culture at Altronix that is built on several different core principles and values that bind our entire ecosystem together as a very cohesive and productive team.

Customer satisfaction is the top priority at Altronix and we pride ourselves on live, personalized customer support.

Our experienced tech support group is highly trained and knowledgeable and maintains a relentless dedication to helping customers resolve their technical challenges in the field.

Our design engineers are constantly exploring new and innovative ways to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and feature sets of our products.

The perfect combination of people and technology drives our mission to retain customer loyalty.

As such, Altronix is the brand that customers remember, rely on and come back to again and again.

This is all part of the Altronix persona we have built over the years and continue to sustain today and moving forward.

What are the company’s plans for expansion in 2024?

To meet the increasing global demand for our products, Altronix continues to make major investments in infrastructure and manufacturing processes.

To help further expedite bringing our products to market, we built an in-house lab providing us the capability to perform UL testing on our own products.

Altronix’s quality management system was approved by ISO in 2002 and we have sustained this prestigious certification to this day.

A true turnkey design and manufacturing operation from the board level up, Altronix’s production capabilities are second to none, boasting the latest advancements in technology across every facet of manufacturing.

Altronix’s state-of-the-art facility, located in the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Brooklyn, New York, currently occupies more than 200,000 square feet of space and employs over 300 people.

To accommodate future growth, we are in the process of expanding with a 35,000 square foot addition.
