History.
Havis began in 1928 as the Havis-Shields Equipment Corporation, named for founders Dan Havis and Jim Shields. Havis-Shields supplied heavy duty automotive and electrical equipment to police departments and other areas of the public sector.
By the early 1980s, the company had branched into manufacturing, selling high-intensity scene lighting to the public safety sector. In 2009, the company announced a merger with LEDCO-ChargeGuard. Havis-Shields was renamed to Havis, Inc.
In 2011, Havis announced the sale of its Lighting Solutions product line of Kwik-Raze, Magnafire, Collins Dynamics, and Quester to R-O- M Corporation in order to focus more on its current product lines of docking stations, prisoner and K9 transport, and integrated control systems.
In 2014, Havis acquired long-time partner, Schlotter Precision Products, a manufacturer of plastic parts and molds, and formed Havis Molding.
Havis has been at its Warminster headquarters since 2002, with an on-site expansion completed in the summer of 2016.
