Providing Market-Leading Products Since 1963

Our History

A Walk-Through
of Our History

Electro-Metrics has rich history as a leading designer, producer and integrator of antennas, sensors and systems for broadband RF communications and testing since it was founded in 1963. The Contract Manufacturing Division, founded in 1964, began as an in-house machine shop for the antenna’s division. Today, they manufacture fabricated and precision machined products and provide contract manufacturing services for regional contract manufacturers and Fortune 1,000 companies. The EM Metal Works manufacturing facilities support both our RF Antennas and Contract Manufacturing divisions.
