Company Background
The American Whistle Corporation is the only manufacturer of metal whistles in the United States. Since 1956, they have been handcrafting brass whistles right here in Columbus, Ohio - producing over a million whistles a year for coaches, lifeguards, referees, law enforcement, and safety-conscious individuals worldwide. As featured on CBS's Amazing America, their factory tour gives you a behind-the-scenes look at nearly 70 years of American manufacturing heritage. Come see why Columbus is known as the Whistle Capital of America.
