Mactech's continuing growth and success depends on developing and maintaining long-term partnerships with our clients, sub-contractors and employees, and a culture of honesty, fairness and openness remains as the bedrock of our core values. We've never lost sight of the values we were founded on: Trust, Honesty, Integrity and Professionalism and we continue to reap and share the benefits of relationships we began to build as we started out over thirty years ago.
