Core Value — Commitment
Our staff is a close-knit family. Each one of us works hard to meet our promises to each other and to our clients.
Joel Johnson CTS-D, UX System Designer
With KONTEK, we always felt like they understood what we were trying to accomplish. Even when we didn’t get it right the first time, KONTEK kept trying. We know issues are always going to arise, but when you know you have a team that’s willing to work together to resolve it — that’s pretty damn important.
— Keith Vest, Founder and Chairman, The Variable
Marques Manning CTS-D CTS-I, President & Managing Director
KONTEK has been our A/V systems integrator for the past five years and I can say without hesitation that it’s one of the best decisions we ever made. Their quality of work is second to none. When we need service, they are prompt and thorough. They have a knack for making you feel that you’re their only client.
— Ramon C. Sotelo, Multimedia and User Services Specialist, Duke University School of Nursing (SON-IT)

Working with KONTEK to design the technology in our new building, and especially our sim lab, was a true joy. They took my dreams and ideas and helped craft them into a finished system that was even better than I had hoped.
