Company History

Integrated security solutions for over 70 years

Idesco Corp. was incorporated in 1943 in New York as a manufacturer of identification credentials and safety tags.  With its own design staff, printing presses, and lamination equipment Idesco succeeded in winning large corporate and governmental contracts, and grew this early business into a worldwide distribution network.

With the advent of the PVC card and their associated printers, Idesco moved quickly to upgrade its offerings.  This ready adoption of new and better technology enabled Idesco to not merely maintain its market presence, but to expand it. Idesco is now one of the largest suppliers of identification systems, equipment, and materials in the U.S.

Idesco’s reputation for quality and service in the ID market led naturally to its broad customer base asking for solutions to related problems.  By adding experienced personnel and selecting carefully from an array of manufacturers, Idesco again moved forward into new territory.  CCTV, access control, intercom, and related systems now provide the bulk of Idesco’s revenue.

With the security industry evolving toward open architecture systems, standards based equipment, and IP solutions, Idesco is again at the forefront.  While other companies hesitate, Idesco has successfully added solutions for these new challenges to its repertoire with industry leading installations of IP camera systems and true network appliance access control systems.
