About Exotek

Our Story

Founded in 1997, Exotek LLC was established to meet a growing need within the control, test, and automation industry: helping systems integrators build stronger, more professional, and more scalable businesses.
Exotek was formed at the request of a major automation equipment manufacturer seeking to strengthen and manage its systems integration channel. At the same time, systems integrators themselves were looking for experienced guidance to help navigate growth, improve operations, and increase long-term value. Our company emerged at the intersection of those needs.
From the beginning, our team recognized the critical link between:
  • Deep process knowledge
  • Value‑added services provided by systems integrators
  • The long-term success of automation vendors
As the industry matured, we became the first firm dedicated to delivering industry-focused tools, proven processes, and practical knowledge designed specifically for systems integration companies. Our vision remains unchanged: to help our clients build better systems integration companies.

Industry Experience and Focus

We combine decades of hands‑on systems integration experience with an exclusive focus on the control, test, and automation industry. Our consultants have owned integration firms, delivered complex engineering projects, and led successful organizations—giving us firsthand insight into the operational, technical, and leadership challenges integrators face.
Unlike generalist consulting firms, Exotek works only within systems integration. This singular focus allows us to provide guidance that is practical, relevant, and proven in the real world.
By combining real‑world experience with an exclusive industry focus, we help systems integrators:
  • Make better strategic and operational decisions
  • Execute with greater discipline and consistency
  • Navigate growth with confidence
  • Build stronger, more valuable businesses
