About Our Company

 

Illinois Time Recorder was founded in 1965 by Ben Newhouse and conducted operations from an office in North Aurora, IL.  For over 20 years, ITR concentrated on time clocks, master clocks, and other time recording equipment.  In 1989, the business was sold to the Neville family, and the company moved to Lisle, IL.  Company President Jerry Neville came from a background of clock and fire alarm systems, having been the regional service manager for Simplex.  Gene Chamberlain, who assumed the role of Vice President, had years of experience with Edwards fire alarm.  ITR soon expanded to include a systems division, becoming a factory-authorized distributor for FCI fire alarm, Telecor intercom, and Lathem clock systems.

 

ITR has grown our time & attendance division by purchasing two separate competitors.  In 1992, we purchased the Chicago branch office of Accutime Corporation.  In 1996, we purchased Time Business, of Elmhurst, IL.  In addition to broadening our customer base, we gained several excellent employees who are still with us today.

 

Our systems division has expanded over the years to encompass telephone, door entry, local sound and rescue assistance systems, as well as video surveillance, vehicle tracking, guard tour and burglar alarm systems.  We are an authorized dealer for over 20 different manufacturers.

 

Currently, ITR resides in Downers Grove, IL.  Patrick Neville serves as President, with Jerry Neville providing consulting services from time to time (when he’s not golfing).  Gene Chamberlain currently manages our installation division.  Illinois Time Recorder currently employs over twenty people.
