US itek is an American information technology services company based in Tonawanda, New York.

It primarily serves small and medium-sized businesses in the Buffalo Niagara region and has contracts with educational and government institutions.[1][2]

Overview

[edit]

David Stinner founded US itek in 1999 with an initial focus on providing custom-built computer hardware for local clients. The company quickly expanded its operations to include IT support services for business clients, as well as educational and government organizations. During its early years, US itek distributed IT products nationally and mailed over 15,000 catalogs monthly to promote its services.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

By the early 2000s, US itek diversified its offerings to include digital video surveillance, branded products manufactured in Buffalo, and e-waste recycling in collaboration with HSBC. As part of its evolution, the company introduced managed IT services in 2006 after Stinner attended the Managed Services Workshop in Los Angeles. This shift marked a transition from hardware manufacturing to a broader focus on IT services and support.

In 2012, US itek moved its headquarters to a new $1 million facility on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Tonawanda. The new building was designed to be a "living showroom," allowing clients to experience the company's products and services firsthand. It also served as a hub for customer training, featuring state-of-the-art meeting rooms and a data center.[13][14][15][16]

By 2018, US itek had added cybersecurity services to its portfolio, further enhancing its ability to meet the evolving IT needs of its clients. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the company played a critical role in helping businesses transition to remote work environments, demonstrating its commitment to adaptability and customer support.

In 2019, US itek was recognized as one of the Top 100 Managed Service Providers by Cloud Tango, highlighting its excellence in customer satisfaction, innovation, and service delivery.

By 2022, the company had expanded its team internationally, hiring independent contractors in the Philippines and South Africa, and was recognized as a Top 100 MSP across industries such as healthcare, legal, and government.

In 2024, US itek celebrated its 25th anniversary with the launch of a business intelligence platform tailored for small and medium-sized businesses. This marked another step in its commitment to delivering innovative IT solutions.
