Teknikor

What Teknikor does

Teknikor is a privately held industrial solutions provider headquartered in Fall River, Massachusetts, founded in 1966 (originally as Gemco Electric). The company delivers turnkey industrial services to manufacturers, integrating six core capabilities: plant installation and relocation, automation and controls (PLCs, HMIs, DC/AC drives), custom machine design and refurbishing, electrical contracting, mechanical contracting (plumbing, welding, fabrication, millwright, rigging), and industrial consulting. Its primary value proposition is single-source accountability, coordinating multiple skilled trades under one organization to reduce project delays, budget overruns, and coordination failures that manufacturers typically face when managing separate contractors. The business is built on an experienced, multi-trade workforce with an average tenure of 15 years and multi-state contractor licensing across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Teknikor sells through an enterprise field sales motion targeting manufacturing companies with complex industrial needs, with pricing structured on a quote-based, project-by-project basis rather than published rates. The customer base is concentrated in the wire and cable manufacturing vertical and broader manufacturing sector, with named enterprise relationships spanning 16+ years (e.g., General Cable, RSCC Wire & Cable, Marmon Engineered Wire & Cable, Atkore International). The company is led by a second-generation team (CEO Philip Pelletier, President of Contracting Peter Paindiris, President of Automation & Controls Craig DiSano) and is now part of Rhino Tool House as of 2026, which broadens its capabilities into assembly tools and material handling while preserving Teknikor's existing team and customer relationships.

Core offering

Teknikor provides turnkey industrial solutions to manufacturing companies, coordinating multiple skilled trades (electricians, plumbers, millwrights, riggers, welders, fabricators, application and service engineers) under a single accountable organization. Its core offerings span plant installation and relocation, industrial automation and controls (PLCs, HMIs, AC/DC drives), custom machine design and refurbishing, industrial electrical and mechanical contracting, and industrial consulting for plant layout and process optimization.

Product overview

Teknikor is an industrial solutions provider offering a unified portfolio of six core services that work together as a comprehensive turnkey offering. The company's primary services include: Turnkey Installation & Plant Relocation (coordinating multiple skilled trades for moving production lines or entire facilities), Automation & Controls (design, build, program, and installation of control systems), Custom Machine Design & Refurbishing (equipment design, build, and upgrades), Electrical Contracting (industrial-focused electrical infrastructure), Mechanical Contracting (plumbing, welding, fabrication, and rigging), and Industrial Consulting (plant layout and process optimization). These services are designed to be coordinated under one organization, enabling Teknikor to serve as a single turnkey partner for manufacturers rather than requiring clients to manage multiple contractors.
