Gettle Incorporated

What Gettle Incorporated does

Gettle Incorporated is a privately held, multi-discipline electrical and technology construction contractor serving commercial and industrial clients across the Mid-Atlantic region from its headquarters in Emigsville, Pennsylvania and a regional office in Hunt Valley, Maryland. The company operates through six integrated service divisions — Electrical, Datacom, Fire/Security, Automation, Engineering & Design-Build, and Support & Maintenance — positioned as a single-source provider spanning pre-construction planning, engineering, installation, and 24/7 post-installation service. Its core technology footprint includes a 67,000 sq ft UL508A-listed in-house panel fabrication shop in York, PA that designs, builds, and tests electrical panels and control systems before site delivery, complemented by BIM/Revit-based design coordination and LEED-accredited professional services.

The company's revenue model mixes lump-sum project contracts for new construction and facility upgrades (one-time, project-based) with recurring maintenance and 24/7 emergency service agreements (subscription/recurring), plus manufactured panel/control equipment sales and professional engineering services. Distribution is conducted through direct enterprise field sales and project bidding (RFPs) within a vertically segmented approach spanning commercial, education, government, manufacturing, healthcare, senior living, warehousing and logistics, aggregate and mining, and agricultural customers. Customer logos include Fuchs North America, Clarks Distribution Center, Savage Stone, and Utz Quality Foods, with project scopes ranging from LEED-certified manufacturing and distribution facilities to industrial quarry automation and data center installations.

Leadership is held by President Burton F. Karsteter and CFO/Treasurer Robert Soltis, CPA, with George A. Murin, PE leading engineering/design and Bryan Glatfelter leading automation. The company maintains compliance credentials across UL508A, LEED, NFPA, NEC, IBC, MSHA, OSHA, NICET, and BISCI, and participates in the federal E-Rate program for education customers. With no disclosed funding events, no parent company, and 60+ years of continuous operation, Gettle appears to be a stable, independently owned regional specialty contractor with a mature service portfolio and limited disclosed digital or technology product surface beyond industrial automation.
