Their products cater to pinball operators, enthusiasts, and fans all around the globe. The company's story begins with Sam Stern, the father of SPI's Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Gary Stern. Sam was a part-owner and President of pinball pioneer Williams Electronics, which played a crucial role in the early development of the industry.

In the 1940s, Sam boldly approached Harry Williams, another pinball pioneer, and purchased half of his company, leading to significant growth and success. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, SPI and other companies in Chicago introduced groundbreaking innovations to pinball, including multi-player games, score reels, and intricate playfield mechanisms. The late '70s and early '80s witnessed the rise of coin-operated video games, prompting the acquisition of several pinball companies.

In 1986, SPI emerged from these changes, becoming the leading force in the industry. Today, Stern Pinball continues to create exceptional pinball games, combining cutting-edge technology with immersive gameplay and stunning art packages. Their dedication to quality and innovation has solidified their reputation as the go-to brand for pinball enthusiasts and operators worldwide
