The TeamWho's Who: Message from the President: The Intech Mechanical team consists of expert project management, estimating and design departments, along with our highly trained field personnel.

Going into projects with the client's perspective, helps us focus on meeting their requirements, just as we would want ours met.

Acknowledgements from Rick: “In the early days of the company, the initial load for getting
things done fell upon a small group of people. Everyone had to 'wear
multiple hats‘, and learn to do things they hadn’t done before.
The hours were long, the conditions were tough, and a few folks really
made all the difference.”
