An American Success Story
Founded on June 3, 1991, Patti Engineering’s corporate headquarters is based in Auburn Hills, MI with offices in Indiana, and Texas. We have more than 25 years of experience serving as a trusted advisor to clients, providing automation system design, hardware, software, installation, and industry 4.0 services for various clients.
A true American success story, back in 1991, Patti Engineering was supposed to be just a temporary solution for 24-year-old Sam Hoff, founder of Patti Engineering. At the time, Sam was just three weeks away from marrying Patti, the company’s namesake and CFO. Sam’s previous background included employment as a Controls Engineer for General Motors Truck & Bus and a Sales Engineer for Total Control Products. Sam has a BSEE from GMI Engineering & Management Institute (now Kettering University).
Patti Hoff joined her husband in the business shortly after its founding, working alongside Sam. Patti earned her Bachelor of Science degree in business from Oakland University in Rochester Hills, MI. Under her leadership, Patti Engineering has built a solid financial position to ensure continued growth.
Patti Engineering has evolved from one man and his laptop to become a thriving business with an international scope. In the control systems integration industry, your reputation and intellect are your most important offering. We are proud of our outstanding record of meeting and exceeding client’s expectations and obtaining repeat business.
Fanuc Robotics, our First Client
While the company is well diversified now, serving a variety of industries, Sam started in Automotive. Fanuc Robotics was Patti Engineering’s first client.
Patti and Sam have worked together to build a respectful team culture that creates autonomous leaders. They have grown the company by choosing to surround themselves with the very best talent when hiring. Patti and Sam are very proud of the fact that all three of Patti Engineering’s top executives have earned the highly regarded Professional Engineer (P.E.) license.
