is in our DNA

For more than 30 years, our team has been deeply involved in the advancement of the woodworking industry. We have developed software and integrated the state-of-the-art technology of the time, from departmental software solutions like CAD, CAM, and MES to building networked enterprise manufacturing solutions for the kitchen cabinet, office furniture, and institutional casework industry.
We continually look forward while incorporating our past learnings. Our innovation is founded on manufacturing philosophies and concepts such as the Toyota Production System, Lean Manufacturing, Mass Customization, Networked Manufacturing, and Industry 4.0.

On our 5th anniversary, we celebrated our evolution from ITe Consulting to ITE Partners.

In 2024, after 5 years of operating in North America as ITe Consulting, we announced our evolution to ITE Partners.

Why the change?

We’ve learned that true business transformation and, ultimately, operational excellence for our clients are best achieved through true partnerships — with our clients, our growing team, and our service and software partners. 

We drive innovation through partnerships

The ITE Partners team has an unparalleled combination of long-standing industry experience, cross-functional expertise, and pioneering spirit.
