Company History

Founded in a 144 square foot office by Jim Felderman in 1998, ControlWorks is well regarded throughout the industry for our knowledge and professionalism. ControlWorks has had the honor of being a member of Crestron's Authorized Independent Programmer (CAIP) program since its inception. Now entering our 12th year, ControlWorks has a team of dedicated and skilled professionals operating out of fully-equipped offices in Boston and Cleveland.

Diversifying early on, we developed the PB-1000 BackBox for the Crestron CT-1000 touchpanel, filling the need for an inexpensive pre-construction box, the product was a instantaneous hit.  Creating bullet-proof modules for popular sub-systems became another focus as more and more Dealers needed pre-packaged solutions to meet their deadlines.

With an expanding project workload, it became necessary to expand in 2002 becoming a Limited Liability Corporation and adding Boston operations and Bob Sutula to the company.

In 2003 we saw again a dramatic increase in demand for quality, turn key Crestron programming, so we moved into 3500 square feet of new space more suitable for our growing operations. In 2004 we became the first CAIP ever to exhibit at both the InfoComm (commercial) and CEDIA (residential) tradeshows.

Additional employees joined the ControlWorks Cleveland team in 2005 and 2006, leading to a need for additional office space -- fortunately we had access to unfinished space which was rapidly modified to suit our growing needs. In 2007, we relocated our Boston office and added additional staff to meet growing demand in that market. Both offices have access to an impressive variety of test equipment and Crestron product to ensure the highest quality product is delivered to our customers.

Thanks to a favorable real estate market, in mid-2009 we relocated our Cleveland office to 4100 square feet of glorious state-of-the art digs, built to suit our exact needs-- and ensure our continued ability to meet changing demands from our customers and allow room for continued growth.
