George Risk Industries manufactures security alarm components and custom electronics at its facilities in the United States. The company's primary business is its security division, which produces door and window contacts, switches, pool alarms, and water sensors. Alarm installers and dealers use these components to build residential and commercial security systems. George Risk Industries sells these products through a network of distributors and directly to alarm dealers, with ADI Global Distribution and Anixter serving as the division's largest customers. The company also operates a keyboard and proximity switch division that provides custom hardware for OEMs. This division focuses on a niche strategy by fulfilling small-volume, highly customized orders that larger manufacturers typically avoid. To limit financial risk, the company often uses a model where customers fund the R&D for their specific product requirements. George Risk Industries differentiates itself through domestic manufacturing and its ability to provide specialized solutions for both standard security hardware and unique industrial electronics.
