After the founding of Oberlander Electric in 1940 in Peoria, E. B. Oberlander dedicated himself to the pursuit of excellence for the company’s clients.

At that time, ADT was the only alarm company in the Central Illinois area. Seeing an opportunity in the market, Oberlander Protection Alarms was founded in 1956.

E. B. and the company expanded into security alarms, as well as fire systems. He partnered with Potter Electric of St. Louis, to set up Oberlander’s first central monitoring station in Oberlander’s office at the time, which was located on Main Street in Peoria. The partnership grew, and Jim Flotrone of Potter became a strong resource to the new Oberlander Protection Alarms, as well as becoming a friend of the Oberlander family.
