Sam founded Patti Engineering on June 3, 1991, after leaving his job at Total Control Products. He was just 3 weeks away from marrying Patti and named the company after her. It also happened to be the day after Patti’s birthday.

After three years of being just a man and a laptop, Sam decided that the company needed to grow. He hired additional engineers, and the first-ever employee (beyond Sam and Patti) was one of Sam’s fraternity brothers.

The Patti Engineering team joins the Control Systems Integrators Association (CSIA). Membership proved to be intense and thought-provoking as the team aligned with the best practices guidelines. The work began to streamline the business side of Patti Engineering.

After only 6 years in business, the Patti Engineering team hits a milestone of $1M in sales.

Construction finished on Patti Engineering Headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. With office space and a large workshop, they were able to do more in-house work and continue to expand the business.

Patti Engineering became CSIA Certified, known in the industry as the gold-seal mark of a professionally managed control system integration business.

Patti Engineering becomes a Siemens Solution Partner! The team proved to be Siemens product experts, consistently delivering reliable solutions. The partnership was welcomed by both parties, as they worked collaboratively to capture additional market share.

After 15 years, Patti Engineering achieves Mitsubishi Authorized Systems Integrator status! The team first worked with Mitsubishi Electric in 1995 on a joint venture with Chrysler for a paint line, and the relationship grew stronger ever since.

The automotive industry had taken a turn, and it was time to expand to new industries and a new state! After several visits, it was clear that Texas needed a new control systems integrator and the Austin office was formed.

A special thanks to the talented employees, business partners, and clients for helping Patti Engineering celebrate 20 years in business! Even with the downturn in the economy, the business had grown by adapting to client needs.

Patti Engineering excitedly accepted Control Engineering Magazine’s 2013 System Integrator of the Year award! The high standards in quality, integrity, and professionalism shown by the team helped to earn them this prestigious award.

As the need for industrial robotics programming and integration was on the rise, Patti Engineering took the opportunity to officially partner with FANUC as an Authorized Systems Integrator. The relationship between the two companies started back in 1991 as FANUC was Patti Engineering’s first client.

Patti Engineering branched out again by opening a virtual office in Kokomo, Indiana. Thanks to several key accounts, including the 2015 Customer of the Year Award Winner FCA Transmissions and Castings, the expansion proved a favorable one.

The last 25 years of business have been memorable and the team took the time to reminisce by creating a playlist. Through both the tough times and the enjoyable moments, Patti Engineering remains grateful for their employees, clients, and partners.

Patti Engineering expanded their relationship with Siemens by becoming a DISW (Digital Industry Software) partner. The team was excited to continue their work with Industry 4.0, including digital twins and simulations, to help clients meet their objectives.

The Indiana office deepened their Indiana roots and moved to Indianapolis! The change from a virtual office to a brick-and-mortar meant a wealth of new opportunities including an expansion of services with the dedicated workshop area.

The Texas office expanded into a new building with a warehouse and workshop! The move meant that the team could now offer additional services while still working out of the Austin area.

For the 7th consecutive time, Patti Engineering received their CSIA certification. To maintain their status, the team underwent a thorough audit every three years to ensure they followed the best practices for a control systems integrator.

The team celebrated 30 years in business by looking at 30 unique projects that they have completed over the years. From running SCADA without internet to the rescue elevator at the Statue of Liberty, there isn’t much that this team hadn’t seen before.

The long history with FANUC continued as Patti Engineering became an Exclusive System Integrator. The team was excited to increase engagement with the industry-leader in robotic technology to support their strong custom engineering and system execution abilities.

Patti Engineering revealed its rebranding in March 2023, featuring a new contemporary logo and website showcasing innovative services and solutions, as well as helpful resources from our engineers.
