Hilton’s Electronic Security Marks 45 Years in Carlisle

Hilton’s Electronic Security marks 45 years in business in 2026. Shawn Hilton founded the company in Carlisle in November 1981, at the age of 17, and still runs it today.

From a Carlisle van to Central PA security

The business started as a one-person operation working out of a 1965 Dodge van around Carlisle. Over the decades it grew alongside the security needs of local businesses, schools and public buildings, taking on access control, video surveillance and alarm systems. In 2024 the company focused fully on electronic security as Hilton’s Electronic Security.

What the company does today

Today Hilton’s designs, installs and services business security systems across Central Pennsylvania, including Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill and Harrisburg. The approach has stayed the same: walk the building first, install the system with the same team that designed it, and stay available for service afterward.

Thank you, Central Pennsylvania

Forty-five years in business is a credit to the customers who have trusted the company with their buildings. To talk about a project, request a free site visit or call (717) 243-9475.
