ControlTek

ControlTek is very proud to announce we have been honored as one of Oregon’s Healthiest Employers for 2016. This is ControlTek’s third time making the list, which is awarded by the Portland Business Journal each year for businesses in the Portland Metro region that are dedicated to providing a healthier workplace for employees throughout the year.

Back in college at Oregon State University, I knew I would likely put my freshly minted Engineering skills to good use when I returned to my family’s business at ControlTek. It did not immediately occur to me, however, just how much the other skills I was absorbing--first as an ROTC scholarship recipient and later during both active and reserve duty as a Civil Engineer Officer in the United States Air Force--would inform and influence my role as President of ControlTek.

ControlTek employees are our most valuable resource and we are dedicated to building long-lasting partnerships with each new employee who joins our team. Watch a short video below to learn more about what it's like to work at ControlTek and the tools for success you'll find here.

As VP of HR, I have always believed the strength of ControlTek’s company culture has been a major driver in our ability to meet the needs of our customers and reach success as an organization.

However I also want to rely on more than just my gut feeling.

I needed to find a way to measure the impact our culture has on our business strategy, our employees, and our customers. I also hoped to expose the areas of our culture that still need improvement, so we can shine light into the shadows and continue our journey as a company.

Welcome, Mike!

As new Principal Engineer, Mike Hagen will largely be responsible for hardware design including integration and verification for new electronic products.

The products ControlTek manufactures are custom and complex. It takes an experienced team of experts to fully understand the many challenges of manufacturing a custom electronic assembly. Fortunately, employee experts can be found throughout the ControlTek company, experts who are committed to solving problems and delighting our customers.

ControlTek customers are enjoying improved quality and more efficient production following the recent addition of a new Stratasys U-Print SE Plus 3D printer at our contract manufacturing facility in Vancouver, Washington. 

Every day the team at ControlTek is working to provide our customers with the highest possible level of quality and service. Get a sneak preview of ControlTek's electronic design and manufacturing capabilities in a new short video.

ControlTek’s Lean Enterprise Journey includes systematic, organization-wide efforts to ensure efficiency throughout our organization. That means for us, Lean Manufacturing doesn’t start and end with learning new manufacturing techniques. In fact, these techniques are just the beginning.
