The Ellenby Story
Ellenby Technologies is a garage success story.
We actually did start in Lou Frontino’s garage in 1988 designing and assembling electronics for a broad array of end applications including golf training tools using laser beams and retail store people counters. Bob Dobbins, Ellenby’s co-founder, expanded the engineering capability of the company with a line of vending machine controllers which continued to expand rapidly.
In 1995 our reputation in vending led Wawa, a major East Coast convenience store, and Brooks Armored Car Service approached us about creating a smart safe to improve their cash management processes. We pioneered into the world of smart safes and became a major provider of innovative cash management solutions. Since then Ellenby has developed a complete family of CashTrak™ smart safes for companies who use armored carriers as well as smaller retailers with “do-it-yourself” cash management and transit procedures.
Today, Ellenby operates out of a 50,000 square foot facility in Woodbury Heights, NJ. What Lou and Bob created over 30 years ago has turned into a world-class smart safe design and manufacturing company.
