| Geschichte: |
E. Norman Rauland was previously associated with All-American Mohawk, which he left in 1929 to establish the Rauland Corporation. Throughout the Depression, Rauland manufactured power amplifiers and equipment for public address systems. During this time, the Rauland Company won government contracts to produce radio and communication systems for the military. In 1941 Norman Rauland and George Borg entered a partnership that would change the history of the company. Rauland Corporation acquired the Webster-Chicago Corporation, a leader in school communications, and Rauland became firmly established as the dominant supplier of internal school communications systems. (Note: There is some doubt as to the accuracy of the Webster acquisition, perhaps they held a majority share, but Webster continued on until 1967 and as a division of Consolidated Merchandising until after 1971.) In 1942, the Rauland Corporation acquired "Baird Television of America". Rauland began developing a cathode ray tube (CRT), and as a result, the company became an important supplier of communications and radar equipment during WWII. (Note: Baird USA was a brand of Shortwave & Television in Boston, a company wound up in 1935. Perhaps an American subsidiary of Scophony/Baird UK was acquired. Details are unclear.) The same year they purchased the American rights for all patents and processes of British-Gaumont electronic tubes. In 1944 Rauland acquired the Visitron division of G-M Laboratories, Inc., further strengthening their position on the market. After WWII, the Rauland Corporation began manufacturing CRTs for 10 and 12 inch televisions.
In 1948 "Zenith Radio Corporation" purchased the "Rauland Corporation" to acquire the CRT business, and Norman Rauland and George Borg started a new company "Rauland-Borg Corporation" for continuing the sound and communications business. As the company further developed its commercial and industrial communications components, they remained an important military contractor providing such essential products as the Navy's ship-to-shore radios, airborne radar jamming transmitters, walkie-talkies, classified cryptographic switching adapters, tank radios, intercom systems and radios for arctic regions. In the early 1960s the entire line of sound and communications products was transistorized and made of solid state components. Recognizing the need to keep school instructors and staff in touch with each other, Rauland-Borg introduced the first generation of Telecenter® products in 1968. Telecenter® was the first-ever commercial application of touch-tone technology which has since become the backbone of school communications, worldwide. In 1979, after the acquisition of the "Picker-Briggs Company" (a prestigious manufacturer of the Responder® health care communications systems), and "Rauland-Borg" established itself as a leader in nurse call communications. In 1989, Rauland-Borg acquired "Biamp Systems Company", a long-time designer and manufacturer of Biamp® professional audio equipment. In the 90s, the company expanded its existing product lines into Latin America and the Pacific Rim.
