The right automation technology, explained clearly.
Industrial automation can get complicated fast. elliTek helps OEMs, machine builders, system integrators, and manufacturers choose and apply the right products for factory automation, robotics, motion control, machine safety, industrial networking, and electrical controls.
We don’t build your machine.
We help you build it with confidence
What does elliTek do?
elliTek is an industrial automation distributor and technical support partner based in Knoxville, Tennessee. We help manufacturers, OEMs, machine builders, and system integrators choose, source, and apply automation products — including PLCs, HMIs, drives, robotics, actuators, safety devices, industrial networking, and electrical control components.
Our role is simple: help you make better automation decisions before problems become expensive.
WHAT DO WE DO?
WE DELIVER
Start with what you're trying to solve. We'll help with the technology.
Sometimes you know exactly what part number you need. Sometimes you only know the machine needs to move differently, run safer, communicate better, or stop causing downtime.
Both are good places to start.
elliTek's team can help you think through the application, compare options, and connect you with products that make sense for your equipment, your team, and your long-term support needs.
Built for the people responsible for making machines work.
elliTek supports the teams that keep automation moving — from the engineers designing new machines to the maintenance teams keeping existing equipment online.
OEMs & Machine Builders
You need standard components, a dependable supply, and platforms that scale across builds. We help you evaluate products with lifecycle, supportability, and repeatability in mind.
System Integrators
You need responsive sourcing, technical backup, and product knowledge that helps reduce project risk. We support your team without stepping on your role.
Manufacturing Facilities
You need practical help with upgrades, troubleshooting, modernization, safety, networking, and expansion projects. We help you move from “something needs to change” to “here are the options.”
Utilities & Industrial Operators
You need reliable controls, motion, safety, and networking technologies for systems where uptime matters. We help you evaluate solutions with long-term operation in mind.
Industrial automation products, with application support behind them.
A product list is useful. A product list with someone who understands the application is better.
elliTek represents automation technologies across systems that make modern manufacturing work.
A better way to get automation support.
You don't always need a long sales pitch. Sometimes, you need a straight answer from someone who understands industrial automation.
Here's how we typically help.
01.
Tell us what you're trying to accomplish
Send a part number, a project goal, a machine issue, or a rough description of the problem.
02.
We ask the practical questions
Application, environment, controls platform, safety requirements, lead time, maintenance needs, and long-term support all matter.
03.
We help narrow the options
Instead of sending you a catalog and hoping for the best, we help compare the technologies that make sense.
04.
We coordinate with the right manufacturer resources
When factory support is needed, we help bring the right people into the conversation.
05.
We support learning after the purchase
Training, troubleshooting conversations, product education, and local support help your team stay confident.
Local support for regional manufacturers
elliTek is based in Knoxville and supports manufacturers, OEMs, system integrators, and industrial operators across East & Middle Tennessee, Southern Kentucky, Western North Carolina, and Southwest Virginia.
That local presence matters when you need someone who understands the region, the industries, and the urgency of plant-floor work.
Training that helps your team own the technology
Automation support should not create dependency. It should build confidence.
elliTek hosts hands-on technical training for manufacturers, OEMs, machine builders, and system integrators, including Siemens SITRAIN courses, robotics training, IIoT-related training, and focused Lunch & Learn sessions and workshops.
Whether your team is learning a new platform or strengthening existing skills, we'll help you find the right training path.

Learn before you decide.
The best automation decisions usually happen before the purchase order.
That's why elliTek shares educational resources, podcast conversations, training updates, product explainers, and practical automation content for engineers, integrators, and manufacturers.
Automation is complex. Getting help shouldn’t be.
Tell us what you're working on. It can be a part number, a machine problem, a project goal, or a question you're still trying to define.
We'll meet you where you are and help you think through the next step.
No pressure. No vague sales pitch. Just a practical conversation about what you're trying to solve.
