History and FAQs

We customize all kits based on the needs of the specific programs and offer products from all major manufacturers at special education industry discounts. Our prices will allow the highest quality products to fit into the tightest budgets. With Microtek, schools don’t have to tarnish the quality of the education being provided with low quality tools or technology products.

Tool Kit History

Microtek started out as a distributor of material handling products and warehousing equipment. Over the years, Microtek evolved first into a kit building company and eventually into a custom technology builder and distributor.

From the humble beginnings of providing electronic U-build kits to local schools in the 80’s we have grown into a multifaceted organization - providing tools, test equipment, art supplies and technology products to schools throughout North America.

Tech History

Microtek has developed and deployed custom PC images for more than 20 years. In that time, PC’s have gotten smaller, faster, more mobile and we have evolved with them. Today, Microtek continues to develop and deploy images to meet our client’s needs and budget.

In the Summer of 2019, we deployed our newest imaging server and greatly expanded our production capabilities. We calculate that we can now deploy a custom image to over 2,000 computers a week and possibly much more if we had more people to keep up with the server’s full capacity. Technology doesn’t stop changing and advancing and neither do we.

Microtek’s Imaging Advantage:

Our years of experience, have taught us one inevitable fact;

Sometimes, things break.

We have also learned that it is not whether something can be broken that matters as much as whether something can be fixed. This is where Microtek stands above the rest.

During the image development process, we build in features and install custom supporting software that makes the end user’s experience more reliable and enjoyable. We remove unwanted software that may cause problems or slow performance with your system. We remove any third-party software and trial versions of software that are not needed. All of this adds to the reliability of the PC and improves the end user’s experience.
