A Story That Starts in 1967

STI-CO designs and manufactures custom antenna solutions tailored for law enforcement, military, railroad, and transportation sectors. Since 1967, we've specialized in creating covert, durable antennas that support mission-critical communications without compromising stealth or performance.

Founded by a visionary engineer and ham radio enthusiast, our journey began with a simple mission: to solve the unique antenna challenges faced by law enforcement, military, railroads, and transportation sectors. 

Today, we continue to uphold this mission, driven by a passion for engineering excellence and a deep commitment to our customers.

A Legacy Born from Ingenuity

In 1967, our founder, a passionate ham radio operator and skilled engineer, saw a pressing need within his circle of law enforcement friends. Their covert operations were often compromised by easily detectable antennas, putting both missions and lives at risk.

Driven by a deep desire to help and using his expertise in radio technology, he created the first covert antenna that could seamlessly integrate with cars.

This not only helped protect the anonymity of law enforcement agents but also marked the beginning of STI-CO's commitment to developing antenna solutions that enhance safety and mission success without drawing attention to themselves.

Proudly Made in the USA

Our commitment to quality and security is underscored by our dedication to manufacturing all our products in the USA. 

Based in Orchard Park, New York, STI-CO has made a conscious decision to keep our production local. This not only supports our economy but also ensures the highest standards of quality and reliability for our customers, safeguarding the supply chain even in challenging times like those presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
