What Contact! does
Contact Corporation, legally Tim Price Inc. dba Contact Corporation, is a Winchester, Virginia-based systems integrator and exclusive North American and Canadian distributor for Mastsystem Int'l Oy of Finland, founded in 1997. The company designs, fabricates, and integrates lightweight composite telescoping antenna mast systems — built from carbon and glass fiber materials using mechanical belt-driven extension systems with automatic latching — for tactical military communications. Its product portfolio spans the EX, EXB, EXL, SkyHigh, TM, TR, and TLP mast families plus tripods, pointing devices, brackets, transportation kits, and fully integrated platform solutions such as trailer-mounted and vehicle-mounted configurations. Contact holds patented bracket and guy rope technology and is ISO 9001:2015 and TRACE certified.
The company's revenue model is hardware-led, anchored in direct sales of mast systems and accessories to US military branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard), the Department of Defense, the Canadian Armed Forces, and select defense contractors, with pricing determined through multi-year government contracting processes rather than public list pricing. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales into military procurement offices with active participation in major defense industry events (AUSA, Modern Day Marine, Fires Symposium, Eurosatory). Strategic emphasis has shifted in 2024–2025 toward higher-value integrated platforms, exemplified by the November 2024 SARA Wire Antenna Mast Trailer System and the October 2025 JLTV Trailer Pallet Mast System with on-board LiquidPiston power generation. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward US defense buyers, with a stated backlog extending into early 2025 supporting near-term visibility.
