Humble Roots
Global Reach
True Integrity
Our CEO, Jeff Baumgartner, founded American Time in 1980. He was the sole employee and sold system replacement clocks. The company quickly grew and earned a reputation for being a single source for clock system replacement, especially among companies and organizations that used several different clock system brands.
American Time acquired other businesses over the years and eventually became a manufacturer and distributor of its own timekeeping systems, in addition to building up its renowned clock repair team.
For as much as we’ve changed over the last 45 years, much has stayed the same. We’re still headquartered in Dassel, Minnesota. Jeff is still at the helm. And we’re still focused on being a solution-oriented partner to our thousands of customers across America and around the world.
As synchronized time technology has evolved, so have we. In addition to developing our own line of Wi-Fi and Power over Ethernet network clocks, our flagship EverAlert system reasserts our commitment to the success of our customers, offering a feature-rich, user-oriented multifunctional communication platform that allows facilities to consolidate their notification and communication needs into a single system.
Today, our team members work at our 40,000-square-foot headquarters designing, manufacturing, repairing, and servicing systems for any customer that needs synchronized time and communication solutions, especially education, healthcare, government and manufacturing organizations.
