Kinetic Systems

What Kinetic Systems does

Kinetic Systems (operating under the Exentec brand and structured as part of the Exyte Group portfolio) is a full-service process and mechanical contractor that designs and delivers critical infrastructure and controlled environments for high-technology industries worldwide. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Fremont, California, the company maintains a global delivery footprint spanning North America, Central Europe, and Asia, with an employee base of 1,001–5,000 and a cumulative track record of more than 10,000 projects. Its service offering is organized around six core product areas: Cleanroom & Dryroom construction, Media Supply systems, Exhaust & Abatement, Modular Solutions (prefabricated off-site manufacturing), Installation Services, and ongoing Facility Management. These capabilities address contamination control, precision environmental management, and regulatory compliance requirements across advanced manufacturing environments.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales to large industrial customers building or upgrading semiconductor fabs, pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities, data centers, battery manufacturing plants, R&D laboratories, energy installations, transport manufacturing, and defense production sites. Revenue is generated through a combination of one-time infrastructure project delivery contracts, professional installation services, and a recurring facility management stream tied to installed assets. Its go-to-market emphasizes end-to-end project delivery — from engineering design through modular fabrication, on-site installation, and post-installation lifecycle services — with execution capability supported by capital-intensive off-site manufacturing capacity and global engineering resources. The company is led by President & CEO Peter Maris.
