Hy-Tek

What Hy-Tek does

Hy-Tek is a U.S.-based material handling automation integrator and Intralogistics solutions provider headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1963 and privately held by Dunes Point Capital, the company delivers end-to-end supply chain automation — strategic consulting, facility planning, proprietary software, robotics integration, installation, and 24/7 after-market support — to enterprise customers across retail, eCommerce, third-party logistics, pharmaceutical/healthcare, food & beverage, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and government verticals.

At the core of the offering is IntraOne™, a proprietary cloud-native warehouse orchestration platform that connects WMS, WES, WCS, and TMS modules into a unified execution layer and bi-directionally integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, and Oracle ERP. Hy-Tek operates as a certified systems integrator for multiple independent robotics vendors, including Exotec (Skypod 3D goods-to-person), Hai Robotics, Geek+, Tompkins Robotics, K.Hartwall, Movu Robotics, and Locus Robotics. Hardware resale, custom engineering, and integration services are supported by a 20,000 sq ft Innovation Lab near Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky airport where customers test solutions pre-deployment. Revenue is generated across four streams: project-based system integration and implementation (professional services), automation equipment and robotics resale (hardware), IntraOne software licensing with recurring support (subscription), and preventative maintenance and managed services.

Between 2020 and 2023 the company executed at least seven acquisitions — Johnson Stephens Consulting, BP Controls, Nogol Electric, Advanced Handling Systems, FASCOR, LCS, and Winchester Industrial Controls — broadening its capability stack across controls engineering, supply chain software, robotics integration, and lifecycle services. Workforce spans 501–1,000 employees across offices in Ohio (Columbus, Saint Henry, Hilliard), Kentucky (Erlanger, Hebron), Georgia (Atlanta, Winder), New Jersey (Freehold), and Connecticut (Bristol). Pricing is custom quote-driven per project; customers include Hillman, Ariat, Au-ve-co, SwimOutlet, an American shoe and athletic retailer, an American apparel retailer, an off-price specialty retailer, an international C2C online marketplace, a government alcohol beverage control board, and a food merchandiser.
