Zircon transformed the industry with the first electronic stud finder in 1980.

Founded in 1975, Zircon transformed the home improvement industry with the introduction of the world's first electronic stud finder in 1980. The groundbreaking achievement established the company as a leader in the electronic hand tool category.

"Our 50th anniversary represents a significant milestone that reflects our commitment to precision, quality, and customer-focused solutions," said John Stauss, chief executive officer of Zircon Corporation. "From day one, our philosophy has been simple: 'We make tools, not gadgets.' Unlike technology that becomes obsolete in a year, our tools stand the test of time, as reliable as a hammer, but with technological advantages that help our customers complete projects with confidence."

Today, Zircon maintains a strong focus on research and development, with more than 80 global patents and registered designs.

After building the company independently for five decades, Zircon has become a key part of its parent company ZRCN Inc. that recently began trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol "ZRCN," opening opportunities for expansion and growth while maintaining the core values that have defined its success.

Zircon's comprehensive product line includes StudSensor stud finders, MultiScanner wall scanners, SuperScan advanced stud finders with Target Control technology, MetalliScanner metal detectors, Leak Alert water detectors, and Breaker ID circuit breaker finders.
