By Mike Rothfuss, President, Alltech Communications

When Alltech started back in 1996, it was a small family operation with a simple mission: to help businesses stay connected with reliable, professional service. My father-in-law founded the company with those values in mind, and even though we’ve grown and evolved since then, we’ve never lost that family feeling. It’s something I’m incredibly proud of—and something I believe truly sets us apart.

Today, Alltech has expanded to serve businesses across the region, but at our core, we’re still the same type of company. Several of our team members have been with us for decades. In fact, our average employee tenure is over 13 years—something you just don’t see very often in this industry. It’s a testament to the kind of workplace we’ve built: one based on loyalty, respect, and trust.

One of the things that makes Alltech really unique is the number of father-and-son teams who work here. We have four sets currently, and it’s a real reflection of what we stand for. These family ties aren’t just feel-good stories—they represent a culture where people trust the company enough to bring their own family members into the fold. When you have that level of trust internally, it naturally extends to how you serve your customers.

When clients work with us, they notice the difference right away. They see that we aren’t just showing up to install a system or complete a project—we’re building relationships. We take the time to understand your business, your goals, and your challenges, and we stay committed long after the initial work is done.

We believe that when you treat people right—whether it’s your employees or your customers—good things follow. That belief has helped us build lasting partnerships with businesses of all sizes, across industries from healthcare to education to corporate offices. Some of our customers have been with us since the very beginning—and to me, there’s no bigger compliment than that.

At Alltech, we’re not just doing a job—we’re building something that lasts. It’s a commitment to excellence, to relationships, and to values that don’t change with the latest trends. That’s the Alltech way. And I’m honored to keep leading it forward.
