Our story starts a long way from the drive-thru lane. Long before the first Avio kit ever shipped, our engineers were building intercom systems for banks, hospitals, and schools — the kind of places where “good enough” isn’t good enough. Somewhere along the way, we noticed the same problem in a completely different industry: restaurant owners stuck choosing between clunky, overpriced enterprise gear or unreliable off-the-shelf equipment that couldn’t survive a Texas summer or a Michigan winter. So we built something in between — a sales and support team in Georgetown, Texas, paired with a manufacturing and warehousing operation in Troy, Michigan’s “Automation Valley.” Texas hustle on the phone, Michigan precision on the assembly line — it’s why an Avio kit shows up already wired and tested, ready to bolt down, instead of a pile of parts and a prayer.
