WHAT DOES 50 YEARS MEAN TO YOU?

Jason Emtage

50 years of CONTROLTEK. What a milestone and something I am excited and proud to be a part of. To me this is a testament of a company that always puts the customer first and a team that goes the extra mile to ensure that we deliver on our promises…every day. It is exciting to have been part of the journey for the last 18 years, and here is to the next 18 Cheers!

50 years to me means innovation, constant evolution, and resilience through the hardest of times. It represents true grit the perseverance and passion for long-term success described by Angela Duckworth. Over the past nearly five years, I’ve had the chance to see the company grow and evolve while staying true to its values. With much of my family having worked here, I’ve been around the business my entire life, making this anniversary not just a celebration of the company’s success, but also a personal legacy of family and growth that I’m grateful to be part of

To me, working in a business with a 50-year legacy means taking pride in being part of something that has stood the test of time. It’s a responsibility to uphold the standards, values, and relationships that were built long before I got here. It reminds me that success isn’t overnight, it’s earned through consistency, trust, and showing up every day.
