M&R Electronics Systems, Inc., established in 1950, has evolved into a premier provider of low voltage special systems in the Chicagoland area. Founded by Mike Friedman and Richard Willens, the company initially focused on television repairs and antenna installations. Over the decades, M&R expanded its expertise to include the design and installation of a diverse array of systems, from fire alarms and intercoms to telecommunication wiring, sound systems, access control, and video surveillance.
In 1981, Richard Superfine, son-in-law of the founder, joined the team, enhancing the company’s reach among developers, electrical contractors, and property management entities. After Mike Friedman’s retirement in 1995, Richard Superfine assumed ownership and brought Jim Valentino on board as Vice-President in 2001, further underpinning M&R's growth with his extensive experience in security and fire alarm systems.
Today, under the leadership of Scott and Joel Superfine, who took over the family business in September 2020, M&R is preparing for its fourth generation of ownership. The company is dedicated to maintaining its commitment to excellent service and high-quality products at reasonable prices, adapting to the changing market demands. M&R has also established itself as a leader in the cannabis security sector, supporting a wide range of clients across the country in compliance with industry regulations.
Additionally, M&R offers 24/7 Virtual Guard Services, leveraging advanced analytics and AI to ensure effective security solutions. The company prides itself on being a reliable partner for both commercial and residential projects, understanding the unique challenges of each sector while remaining at the forefront of technology and service excellence.
