Stefan Strait and Steve Rinkewich have been long time collaborators with Kendra Hart and Martin Electric. The relationship that the three of them have built created an inevitable connection in the workspace fostering many successful collaborative projects such as Plug Power and Rensselaer County Buildings. Their knowledge and expertise of the low voltage space has already brought such insight to the Martin Electric crew. Beyond that, they are a perfect fit into the culture that is Martin Electric.
As natural as it could have been, Martin Electric and CNC decided after working together for 30 years that the two companies with the same core values should continue their growth together. In integrating CNC into the Martin Electric family, we are not just expanding our capabilities or extending our market presence; we are cultivating an environment for professional growth, collaborative success, and technological advancement. Together, we are better positioned than ever to serve our community, meeting today’s needs while steering towards a bright and electrifying future.
We are confident that this transition will be seamless for our clients, as we continue to focus on delivering superior service without interruption. Your ongoing projects are in steady hands, empowered by the combined strengths of Martin Electric and Control Network Communications.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to every team member, client, and partner who has been part of our respective journeys so far. Without your support, trust, and hard work, this momentous occasion would not be possible.
More to come as we welcome Stefan Strait, Steve Rinkewich, and the entire CNC team to our family!
