Our Story
The Northern Indiana Drone Company
Get to Know Us
Stratus was founded in 2022 by Caleb Ray and Collin Barker, Northern Indiana natives and drone enthusiasts of 10+ years.
​
From the very beginning, we knew that we wanted to make a difference in our community. We believed that our skills and expertise could be used to help people in a variety of ways, from providing top-notch customer service to creating innovative products that would solve real-world problems.
As we worked to establish Stratus, we made it our mission to always put the needs of our customers first. We knew that if we could create a company that was truly focused on helping people, we could build a strong, loyal customer base and make a meaningful impact in our community.
​
We are proud to be a part of our community, and we look forward to continuing to serve the people who make it such a special place. Whether you need help with a specific project or are looking for ongoing support and care, we are here for you every step of the way.
