Galtronics’ Firsts

A Timeline of Antenna Innovation

Galtronics was founded in 1978 in Tiberias, Israel by Mr. Ken Crowell. The company started making antennas for Motorola two way radios and rapidly improving manufacturing technologies. Later, in collaboration with early industry leaders, Galtronics invented the first cellular antennas for mass production — the beginning of a tradition of "antenna innovation" for which we've become well known.
