Duravant chairman and CEO Mike Kachmer said: “We’re excited to welcome T-TEK to Duravant. T-TEK has an impressive history of fostering strong customer relationships through a differentiated service delivery model. Their technical sales and consultation process is key to their longstanding partnerships with brand owners, facility operators, engineering firms, and integrators.”
