Founded in 1992 by John Demskie out of a one-room apartment in Minnesota, RTI has grown from humble beginnings into a world-leading control system manufacturer known for introducing affordable control products that offer the state-of-the-art features and functionality often reserved for higher priced solutions.

Over the last 20 years, RTI has made its mark on the control and automation industry with a number of award-winning solutions, including its handheld touchpanels, in-wall controllers, and advanced central processors. RTI’s Integration Designer programming software — considered by many integrators to be the most intuitive and versatile programming platform in the industry — was inducted into the CEDIA Hall of Fame in 2011.

Most recently, the company’s RTiPanel application — offering support and control via Apple and Android devices — has received numerous accolades, including a 2011 CEDIA Manufacturer’s Excellence Award and a 2012 Electronic House Product of the Year Award.

“It’s been a great 20 years, and we couldn’t be more delighted to have so much to celebrate,” says RTI vice president of sales and marketing Pete Baker.

“We are very grateful to those who have made our success possible, from our amazing team at RTI to our dedicated dealers and distribution partners worldwide, who support our products and customers every day. Having just celebrated our best first-half revenues in company history, we can’t wait to see what the next 20 years bring.”
