History
The company that would become EDG was founded in 1987 by President Bob Gullo, at that time called Audio Video Consultants. Gullo was joined by Vice President Ed Condiracci in WHAT YEAR. Together they focused on developing expertise consumer electronics hardware and low-voltage wiring and developed relationships with architects and builders who were beginning to integrate these types of systems into residential projects. In 1991, Gullo expanded into lighting control systems, advanced structural wiring, video cameras, telephones and integrated control. This marked the transition from retail to custom system design. To reflect the change, the company was renamed Electronics Design Group, Inc.

EDG Today
EDG projects range in value from small scale residential to wide scope business projects. The target customer is affluent home owners and businesses within 100 miles of their Piscataway headquarters. Gullo says, that multiuse rooms are a growing trend among this clientele.

EDG is also a registered provider of Continuing Education Seminars for the AIA and ASID.
