The New Company will Provide Product & Technology Integration for the Workplace
Santa Fe Springs, CA – May 7, 2013: Tangram Interiors has formed a new company called PARALLELTEK, a unified communications solutions provider. The company will be focused on network cabling, audiovisual and security systems. PARALLELTEK will be led by Anthony Minite, who has been named President and General Manager. The company was formed to meet the growing demand for products that communicate with smart office technology. End users, architects and designers will now benefit from having a complete workplace solution. PARALLELTEK has recruited industry veteran, Frank Gomez, formerly of Spinitar, to serve as Vice President of Operations.
The transformation in workplace culture and etiquette has allowed companies to revolutionize business operations. Clients needs have changed and technology must continue to develop in order for companies to continue to grow. The network cabling, audiovisual and security services provided by PARALLELTEK cultivate communication between employees, clients, and smart office technology.
“Our current customers continue to demand an increasing amount of service that requires the ability to network our products with technology. We realize this endeavor requires business leadership and expertise separate from Tangram and we are thrilled Anthony has agreed to come on board,” said Joseph P. Lozowski, president and CEO of Tangram. “Our goal is for PARALLELTEK to provide the infrastructure, vendor relationships and engineering expertise necessary to enhance services to Tangram’s current and future client base. We unite your work space with the digital space to provide complete workplace solutions.”

“I am thrilled to be part of the Tangram family. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to build a strong working relationship with Tangram and to work very closely with Joe,” said Minite. “Tangram and its ownership understand that technology is what customers are moving towards. Integration in the workplace is the future and I am excited to be collaborating with them.”
