Converged Technology for Modern Businesses

OUR HISTORY

At Orion, we combine craftsmanship with the locally-sourced materials on which we built our foundation. This inspires each product we manufacture.  We stand by the foundational principles that products are only as good as the materials used to make them and the people who create them. Our dedication to these principles has allowed us to grow to a 40,000 square-foot facility that manufactures access control solutions for Fortune 100 companies and clients across the globe.

Since our founding in 2009, we’ve remained true to our commitment to creating peace of mind for our customers, fabrication partners, and team members. We firmly believe that this sets us apart from others in this industry.

The systems Orion creates are as steadfast and enduring as our namesake.

STEVE CAROSELLI

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT

About Steve Caroselli

Innovation and Intention. Steve has always seen the direction Orion needs to head, leading the industry with deliberate use of disruptive technologies. Creating a platform for performance, whether it’s Turnstiles, or data delivering devices to drive decisions with precision, Steve has never wavered from what motivates him, family. Orion is a family business to be sure, and that business is protecting families.

Founding Orion in 2009, Steve called upon his previous 15+ years to create the Technology Company you see before you today. Having worked as both a Security Integrator and for Gunnebo Entrance Control, Steve knew what it would take to compete and eventually lead within this space. In under a decade, Orion Entrance Control has tripled its workforce, expanded sales to eleven countries, and provides solutions for some of the biggest names in the business.

Whether it’s Turnstiles, DoorGuard or SmartGate, Orion prides itself on being designed and manufactured in NH using recycled materials whenever possible. Furthering Orion’s Green Initiative, energy saving systems are employed throughout the HQ in Laconia.

In his spare time, Steve enjoys reading, listening to audiobooks, learning from podcasts and finding new local restaurants with his wife Kathie.

STEVE JOHNSTON

DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING

About Steve Johnston

How many of you can make the claim that you are a world champion? Steve can! Steve Johnston graduated from the University of Michigan and achieved world champion status as part of the 1978 UM Men’s Glee Club. Not only that, he was also a member of the school’s marching band which means he spent a ton of time on the “Big House” field, as well as enjoying the Orange & Rose Bowl venues.

Professionally speaking, Steve has devoted more than 30 years to the security field. He has spent significant time as a Partner/Owner in various manufacturing rep companies which means he not only had to have a product sales focus, but also view technology from an integrator/customer perspective because those kinds of companies must have a clear understanding of how to make solutions truly work to provide value. For the past 11 years, Steve has worked for two of the security industry leaders, but his entrepreneurial spirit was the driving force in his decision to join Orion as our company offers the benefits of a strong organization with an enthusiasm and capability for innovation.

In his spare time, Steve and his wife Patty are proud parents to 3+1 children and 9 grandchildren spread out from the northern part of the central US down as far south as Houston. An avid rugby fan, he is a member of the Detroit RFC (& Detroit Olde Guys Select) and his interests extend to sailing as he has crewed a Port Huron to Mackinaw race. Patty and Steve also enjoy traveling and exploring the food scene. As the Director of Sales & Marketing, it is a sure thing that Orion will continue to race to the top as well.

About Tom Elliott

Graduating Class of ‘84 from DeVry University in Columbus, OH with a Bachelors in Electronic Technology, Tom began his journey as a technician for Lanier Worldwide’s Healthcare Division.

Tom moved into Sales and then spent 10 years as a Sales Manager before leaving the company in 2006.

He then moved into a new industry when he began working for Access IT/Cinedigm where he, starting from scratch, quickly gained the recognition of management. Tom spent seven years at Cinedigm, getting granular in his territory, building a reputable book of business and left as a Regional Sales Manager.

Based on a personal reference, Steve reached out to Tom and convinced him to, yet again, start from scratch in a brand-new industry. Tom became the first official Salesperson for Orion in 2014. From that moment, Tom’s unique style of unwavering determination and attention to detail has led Orion’s sales team to new heights.
