Warner Family Brands includes Warner Communications, Dittronics, and Voceon — trusted names serving St. Louis, Southern Illinois, Southeastern Missouri, Houston, Chicago, and San Antonio. “Family” reflects how we work: with trust, collaboration, and a shared focus on helping our customers do what they do better.
Warner Communications, the eldest “sibling” in our family, was founded in St. Louis, Missouri by Forest Warner and Arthur Guller in 1962. Over the years, Warner Communications expanded its presence across Greater St. Louis and southern Illinois by acquiring IE Communications in Illinois (2015) and certain assets of A&E Electronics (2000)—both of which were fully integrated into Warner Communications and now operate under its name, providing reliable communication and security solutions in the region.
Dittronics, our middle “sibling,” was founded in 1974 by Neil and Barb Dittlinger and has been serving southeastern Missouri with trusted communication and security services ever since. In 2014, Dittronics joined the Warner Family Brands when it was acquired by Warner Communications Corporation, carrying forward its strong reputation and deep community roots. After Neil and Barb retired, their son Greg led Dittronics until 2024, having learned the trade alongside his father. Today, Dan Smith leads Dittronics with extensive technical and management experience since 2014.
Our youngest “sibling,” Voceon, was founded in Houston, Texas in 2015 and quickly expanded into Chicago and San Antonio, bringing innovative communication and security solutions to new markets.
Together, these three brands form Warner Family Brands — a close-knit family delivering trusted communication and security solutions, united by a shared commitment to helping our customers do what they do better.
