Kodiak Marks 17 Years of Long-Term Partnerships
Kodiak grew from 17 employees in 2004 to 76 in 2021, and kept nearly all of its founding team and several of its first customers along the way.
The privately held company was formed in Austin in 2004 by a small team of experienced engineers and operators. Over 17 years, Kodiak Assembly Solutions has built its work around long-term relationships with its staff and its customers.
Kodiak started with 17 employees in a 20,000 sq. ft. facility. By 2021 it had 76 employees operating a 60,000 sq. ft. facility. Of the original 17, one had retired and the other 16 were still with the company, and several of Kodiak’s original customers were still building with it.
Michael Harlow, Kodiak’s Vice President, pointed to how many of Kodiak’s employees and customers had been with the company from the beginning, and credited Kodiak’s success to building and keeping those relationships.
