About Us
EmbedTek was founded in 2002 by our current president and chief technology officer, Kent Tabor. The main focus was on opportunities to design custom panel PC solutions and provide engineering services to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers.
To jumpstart the development of their Brunswick New Technologies division, Brunswick Corporation purchased EmbedTek in 2003. After EmbedTek developed a marine electronic system and LCD-based entertainment system, Kent bought back full control of EmbedTek in 2005.
In 2010, Dan Aicher, Ted Platz and Tom Fotsch invested in EmbedTek and joined the management team. All three having extensive experience in business development and the embedded computing business, Dan, Ted, and Tom provided the abilities to expand the business and develop its quality and infrastructure systems. The investments resulted in the installation of a Class 1000 cleanroom, ISO 9001:2015 registration, and the purchase of engineering and manufacturing equipment.
EmbedTek has grown significantly since 2010 by winning new engagements with OEMs all over North America and shipping products globally to client locations and/or directly to their end customers.
The four members of our Management Team are also equal owners of the business. They each have many successful years in the computing business, starting and growing business to a leadership position in their field. They are united by a drive to build a business with a strong, customer centered culture.

TESTIMONIALS
“I have always appreciated the work ethic instilled by the leaders at EmbedTek. One of the the most important ethics is accountability in partnership. What makes a great supplier is to recognize that when problems occur, not if, there is an ownership assumed by that supplier. I believe that you and your team embody this ethic which shows up greatly in our partnership.”
Thank you for all of the work done the previous quarter – shipping in full to the schedule provided as well as reacting quickly to the adjustments the customer made to the order was huge for us and we really appreciate it. Quick execution on last-minute orders were a huge help to us. Communication from your end throughout the quarter as well as visibility was excellent which was really appreciated by everyone on our side.
We deal with over 100 suppliers, and EmbedTek over the past three years has been rated as our top supplier. EmbedTek’s lean manufacturing approach translates into a least-cost, robust, quality product.
