ROANOKE, Va. — Valcom, a division of Potter Electric Signal Co., announces Tim Anderson has joined the company and will serve as its next president. Anderson succeeds Jack Mason, who established the compant more than 40 years ago, and will continue on as the executive advisor.
Anderson has more than 25 years of strategic and general management experience in diverse industries including enterprise communications, medical devices, diagnostics and life-safety communications. Anderson held executive level positions at Johnson & Johnson, Quest Diagnostics, Beckman Coulter, and most recently at Rauland, where under his leadership and strategic vision, the company experienced rapid growth, entry into adjacent markets and expansion into software platforms.
“Valcom has a long history of product excellence in various markets, and I look forward to applying my industry experience and leadership skills to guide the company into its next chapter,” says Anderson.
“I had the privilege to lead a fantastic group of people that have made Valcom the ‘go to’ supplier of paging, school and mass notification systems,” says Mason. “The Valcom people, technology and products have been recognized as unique. I believe that under Tim’s leadership Valcom will continue to develop innovative solutions and level of customer care in the marketplace. I look forward to being a part of Valcom’s continued success.”
