70 years of reliability
About us
Since our modest beginnings in 1948, RACO Manufacturing and Engineering has provided municipalities, industry, and government with a wide variety of high-quality, reliable remote communications systems, annunciators, and RTU's for alarm autodialing.
Mission
People and the environment are safer and more productive when critical infrastructure is monitored, controlled, and secured from anywhere, at any time.
Vision
We will provide the most reliable, flexible, and straightforward products customers have ever worked with - at a price they can afford and with service they love.
History
Over 70 years of experience
RACO first set up shop in 1948. We were pioneers of the 'internet of things' before the world even heard of IoT.
The world's changed a lot since then, as has our company. But, through ownership changes, product line changes, and modernization, our ethos remains the same.
We build robust remote monitoring and data logging systems that our clients can depend upon. And we also provide brilliant, trustworthy customer service alongside that, too. It's a simple rationale that's responsible for our life-long success and continued client satisfaction.
