Stern Pinball, Inc. is the world's leading manufacturer of arcade-quality pinball machines, based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Founded in 1999 by Gary Stern, the company carries on the legacy of decades of pinball innovation, tracing its roots back to the classic Stern Electronics of the 1970s and Data East Pinball.

Stern is widely known for producing high-quality, feature-rich machines that appeal to both collectors and arcade operators. The company blends traditional mechanical gameplay with modern technology, including LCD displays, internet connectivity, and advanced sound systems. Stern’s games often feature licensed themes from popular franchises like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Iron Maiden, Deadpool, and The Mandalorian, bringing pop culture into immersive, interactive play experiences.

The company’s titles are produced in three main editions—Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE)—to cater to a wide range of players and collectors. Stern also runs a Stern Insider Connected platform, which allows players to track progress, compete globally, and access exclusive content.
