About Valcom
Valcom was founded in 1977 in Roanoke, Virginia, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and has specialized since then in full IP and network-distributed paging, intercom, and emergency notification systems. Its products are designed, built, and supported in the United States.
The company's stated mission is to provide innovative daily and emergency communication solutions using smarter technology and cloud-enabled services, keeping facilities, schools, and businesses informed and safe during both routine operations and emergency situations. Valcom's catalog spans IP paging speakers, intercom stations, and mass notification devices built for network-distributed deployment rather than legacy analog paging infrastructure.
Since December 2021, Valcom has been part of Potter Electric Signal Company, expanding its portfolio to include mass notification capability alongside Potter's existing fire and life safety product lines.
