Johnson Electronics, established in 1941 in Salinas, California, started as Johnson Radio & Electronics with a focus on radios and televisions. Over the decades, the company transitioned to a specialized business, pivoting towards the installation and servicing of intercom systems, fire alarms, and low-voltage electrical systems. By the late 1940s, as the popularity of televisions grew, Johnson's began to expand its offerings, including commercial sound systems, security systems, and data networking. The company played a significant role in the development of the first cable television systems in Salinas and Seaside during the 1950s.
With the entry of Dick Johnson in 1984, the business embraced telecommunications and became a pioneer in cellular service in the area. After the passing of the founder in 1989, the business evolved under his leadership, focusing on expanding its telecommunications market and dropping less profitable divisions. As the company grew over 500% in the 1990s under the management of Bryan Johnson, it solidified its position as a leader in low voltage contracting.
Today, Johnson Electronics serves a diverse clientele, including educational institutions, military organizations, and various businesses, both large and small. The company prides itself on its team of certified technicians, who design, install, and monitor a wide range of systems such as fire alarms, security solutions, audio-visual setups, and integrated low-voltage systems. Licensed by the state of California as a C-7 (Low Voltage Systems) and C-10 (General Electrical) contractor, Johnson Electronics maintains a strong reputation for delivering high-quality service and adherence to industry standards. With over 70 years of experience, Johnson Electronics continues to innovate and lead in the field of low voltage electrical contracting.
