#346: 35 Years of Aloha – The Pacific Audio & Communications Story
This is Automation Unplugged, and I’m Ron Callis. My returning guests today are Phil and Pat Mulligan, the brothers behind Pacific Audio & Communications, also known as PAC Hawaii. Phil and Pat are celebrating an incredible milestone — 35 years in business as one of Hawaii’s leading integration firms, with offices spanning multiple islands and a team that’s built its reputation on craftsmanship, transparency, and aloha. Phil founded PAC Hawaii back in 1991 after running a successful electrical contracting business on Maui, and a few years later, Pat joined after serving eight years in the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and earning his degree in Electronics Engineering. Together, they’ve grown PAC from a small man operation into a multi-island company designing and delivering world-class residential and commercial technology systems.
