Geotech equipment meets environmental challenges on every continent! Geotech was recognized by US Secretary of Commerce, John Bryson in November 2011 with the Certificate of Excellence for Export Achievement. Due to the successful acquisition and integration of three companies in the recent past, Geotech is poised to grow when opportunities arise. Aggressive elimination of debt has opened doors for further growth through acquisitions. Geotech's LEAN manufacturing philosophy permeates all aspects of Geotech. From the rental department to the production floor and offices, all employees are graded monthly on the organization of their work area. This philosophy generates less waste of materials and labor, which leads to sustainability. Each employee is encouraged to provide ideas to improve not only upon their own work processes but enhancements to any product, process or department. Employee accountability is maintained through a public communications board as well as metrics of their objectives and success at meeting them. In 2010, Geotech received the Colorado Governor's Award for Excellence.
