Electrical companies throughout the world are faced not only with increasing cost of new construction, maintenance and the replacement of standard equipment and material, but also with new concerns like downsizing of crews and environmental issues such as raptor electrocution and the hazardous chemicals used for wood treatment. Most utility companies will welcome new products that will allow them to control costs and maintain uninterrupted service to their customers.

Amistad Fiberglass Co., Inc. was formed in 1978 by Chris and Nancy King. Chris having been a lineman for Central Power & Light for 17 years had a feel for the needs of the linemen in the field. During this time of employment in the utility industry he saw a number of opportunities where new concepts could improve the job and make it much easier and safer for the men in the field along with savings to the company. Amistad began producing and supplying items to the electrical and telephone industry that were designed by Chris and made from fiberglass composite. The research that was done during this period of time led to the creation of the current Cross Arm Insulator (CAI) Unit.

During the past several years the business has focused on perfecting the design and capability of the CAI Unit, the new composite cross arm with insulators integrated into this system, and bringing it to market.
