Farmington Hills-based InfoTronics Inc., a developer of Web-based time and attendance software systems, announced Thursday that one of its channel partners, Time Equipment Co. of Bellevue, Wash. has celebrated its 80th birthday in business.

Founded in 1928 by John Brondello Sr., Time Equipment originally provided pendulum driven mechanical time clocks to early generations of local businesses in the Seattle area. Son Jack Brondello carried on the company's founding principles of customer service until his recent retirement.

Today, third-generation family member John Brondello III and company provide the Northwest region of the United States with business systems for employee time and attendance tracking, human resources, and labor management. Products include computerized time recorders, electronic time clocks, biometric data collection, and a range of security products including the next generation of proximity-based security tour verification technology.
