History

In 1989, Paul Galeski established MAGNUM Technologies, which gained recognition from Inc. Magazine in 1995 as one of the fastest-growing companies nationwide. MAGNUM was acquired by General Electric in 1997 and integrated into GE’s Industrial Systems Division, where Galeski served as President until 1999.

Following this, Galeski launched MAVERICK Technologies in 1999 and simultaneously acquired Software Architects, another company listed on the Inc. 500. From 2002 through 2009, MAVERICK expanded its footprint by acquiring several firms including RHES Inc., Professional Maintenance Consultants, GEAS (General Electric Automation Services), CF Picou, LaPlace Technologies, Mission Controls, and Program4 Engineering.

MAVERICK established the Global System Integrators Alliance (GSIA) alongside MPE Industrial Automation Europe and Asia, creating a network of over 700 experts spanning more than 30 locations worldwide. Its international presence commenced with offices in the Netherlands and Thailand in 2008, followed by Singapore in 2009.

By 2011, MAVERICK had successfully completed upwards of 10,000 projects across six continents and 45 countries, employed a global workforce exceeding 500 individuals, and earned five listings on the Inc. 500 fastest-growing companies roster.

In 2016, MAVERICK Technologies became part of Rockwell Automation through acquisition.
