To build a great company,
we start by building a great team

In 1991, Ray Derstine founded Altek with the goal of providing local businesses in Southeastern, PA with office technology.

“Altek started as a hardware company that happened to offer services on that hardware. Today, we have migrated more to a service provider that can offer hardware as part of the solution.”

Ray is active in community, civic, and church organizations. He also enjoys music, golf, fishing, and shooting sporting clays. Ray and his wife, Cindy, reside in Upper Salford, PA and have four daughters.

Cindy has been with the company since its inception in 1991. She sits on the board of the Indian Valley Chamber of Commerce and serves as a committee member for the local Leadercast event. She’s active in the Central Bucks Chamber,
