“How Crestron Paved The Way For The Smart Home, And More” by Mark Vena, Forbes 

“It is estimated that 90% of all the Fortune 500 have some type of Crestron-based solution in their facilities. Clearly Crestron has been doing something right for a long time. Before there was Amazon Alexa, there was Crestron. The parallels between today’s smart home and Crestron’s legacy presence in corporate America is almost uncanny. Crestron positions itself as an end to end vendor of customized solutions, control systems, audio and video distribution, lighting control, motorized shades, security systems (both home and offices), and speakers, just to name a few. Sound familiar? Interestingly, Crestron’s original roots were in the automation space. George Feldstein, who died in 2014, founded Crestron when he built a controller to automate a slide projector. From these humble beginnings, privately-held Crestron has grown into a company with worldwide annual revenues of $1.5 billion dollars. Unlike many companies who play in the consumer home automation/smart home space, Crestron manufactures 100% of its products, giving it the unique ability to provide a high degree of cross-system integration and fail-safe capabilities.  Like most companies whose growth correlates with commercial building development, Crestron has been experiencing a growth spurt. It has achieved more than 10% year over year growth for the past 2 years.  In addition, Crestron is no slouch when it comes to technology innovation—it has well over 300 patents in its portfolio.”
