About

Our History

Summit Worx was founded in 2013 by a core team from ITT Exelis Corporation, bringing together decades of experience in engineering and manufacturing. Our first customer was ITT Exelis, and since then, we have evolved to become a trusted subcontractor on U.S. government contracts and expanded into commercial projects. Over the years, we have worked on a diverse array of projects, including respirators, automated hand-tools, and water chillers, solving some of the toughest engineering challenges along the way.

Throughout our journey, we have consistently reinvented ourselves to adapt to the changing needs of our clients. Whether tackling production capacity issues or designing innovative engineering solutions, Summit Worx is committed to delivering the results our clients need to succeed.

Our Mission

At Summit Worx, our mission is simple: solving customer problems, especially those that involve complex engineering challenges and the startup or ramp-up of production processes. We are committed to providing innovative, cost-effective solutions to help our customers overcome the obstacles they face in engineering design and manufacturing. Whether it’s a make vs buy decision, navigating supply chain constraints, or workforce development, Summit Worx delivers tailored strategies that not only solve the immediate challenge but set our clients up for long-term success.

Our Vision

Since our founding, Summit Worx has been driven by a vision to become a trusted partner in tackling the most demanding technical challenges. We strive to continuously reinvent ourselves and expand our expertise to stay at the forefront of our industry. Our goal is to empower our customers by offering engineering design solutions that meet their unique needs while enhancing their production capabilities. From automated hand tools to water chillers, we leverage our engineering expertise to ensure our customers stay competitive in both government and commercial sectors.
