“Creative Thinking” By 23 Yr. Old CEO, Propels Company To Cleveland Relocation
(PRWEB) October 7, 2004 -- Pantek, a NE Ohio company that specializes in
Linux based software development, technical support and technical security
services, has “creatively” grown out of their space. Not often does “creative”
and “technical” cross paths in a statement, but Pantek has taken a technological
business and integrated innovative creativity, methodological ingenuity, and
“outside-the-box” thinking to new levels of business growth which caused a
demand for more space and a move.
Formerly based in Solon, Ohio, Pantek’s
expansion was generated by a distinctive approach to business and unsurpassed
customer attention. “We’re all working hard in short-term, to make a huge
long-term impact on the industry and for our clients,” said Richard Zack, 23 yr.
old CEO of Pantek, “I have surrounded myself with people who love to work in
this field and have inner motivation that pushes their thought processes to new
heights”.
At age 15, Richard started Pantek as an Internet service
provider that operated out of the basement of his parents’ home in Auburn
Township in Geauga County. He sold the ISP’s assets in 1998 to New Age
Consulting Service Inc., a Cleveland ISP and Internet services company, and the
“New Pantek” began to emerge. After six years in a small office space, Pantek’s
momentum and growth steamrolled through the first part of this year and made a
move to larger offices necessary. “98% of our business is not in Ohio”, stated
Zack, “but we decided to stay local because my associates and I believe that we
can help Cleveland grow and represent the community well as a leader in open
source technology.” Pantek’s thinking application has always been different than
other companies. Pantek’s staff creatively balances realization with
actualization like a successful ad agency would operate. Innovative thinking
that is realized, applied and customized for our individual customers needs.
Pantek began as an internet service provider back in 1995 and was
re-started in 1999 focusing on IT services around open-source solutions. The
move to The Sterling Building at 1255 Euclid Avenue has been quick to ensure
non-stop service to their clients. Historically, their have been several large
internet companies in the Sterling Building so it was an excellent choice as a
technological center. Pantek employees will be in the new offices effective
August 20th with an open house for clients and vendors.
“Cleveland is a
great city” said Zack, “When the brightest minds in the country graduate from
their academic endeavors, we want them to consider Cleveland first. We believe
Pantek has the opportunity to become and American technological institution
which could reflect greatly on young professionals nationwide drawing them to
Cleveland.” The growth potential for Pantek is amazing because of the qualified
“creative” thinkers that are on staff. Pantek plans on bringing many more jobs
to the Cleveland area in the future to help the community as well as the growing
cultural and artistic revolution that has risen to new levels in recent years.
“We are proud to call Cleveland our home because it has always been our dream to
have our company located downtown”, stated Zack, “with hard work and a team
generated focus, dreams can come true”.
