Viatec, Inc. is a technology company that was founded in 2015 and is based in Greenville, SC. The company sells directly to the top 70 US electric utilities as well as through its vehicle OEM relationships and distributors who provide wide geographic support. The company has developed and patented an electric power take-off system (PTO) called SmartPTO™, which is quickly becoming the industry standard in the vocational vehicle sector for auxiliary power. SmartPTO™ provides electrification of the truck's work site use, resulting in significant fuel savings, reduced maintenance and repair costs, and significantly lower air and noise emissions. Viatec's uniqueness lies in its ability to design and commercialize rugged, durable auxiliary power systems that are seamless to vehicle integration and can be fitted in less than two days on existing vehicles or during new vehicle assembly while not affecting drivetrain warranty, insurability, or regulatory compliances. The company was founded by Mark Ferri, who has been the CEO since incorporation.
