In February, 1988 Gerald and Deonn Courtney founded Courtney Electronics. Initially, it all began with designing and developing a computerized clinic coordination system for Boozman-Hof Regional Eye Clinic in Rogers, Arkansas. Upon completion, Courtney Electronics began looking for other avenues to build the business. The company contracted with Duncan Industries in Harrison, Arkansas, for some manufacturing. Later the company did some Design and development with Sage Industries and then Clarke Industries in Springdale, Arkansas.

On October 8, 1991, the company was incorporated in the state of Arkansas. After eight years of doing business in Garfield, Arkansas, the company was relocated to Fayetteville, Arkansas in June, 1994.

Today Courtney Electronics, Inc. has developed a comprehensive line of DC Motor Controllers for a wide range of Industrial and Commercial applications. Compared to competitive products, Courtney electronics has developed state-of-the-art, completely solid-state line of motor controllers, which should prove to be much more reliable with a much longer life span.
