ITI Group, an independent industrial systems integrator with more than 50 years of global experience, opened its North American headquarters in Boston, with the objective to further grow its presence throughout North America. The launch comes ahead of the company’s U.S. trade show debut at Pack Expo International in Chicago, where ITI will exhibit in partnership with Parsec Automation.

Located in Boston's Financial District, the office will be led by Oliver Stone, digital services business unit director, and initially will be home to seven employees. ITI Group expects the location to support continued expansion across the United States, with plans to grow the local team over the next 12 months.

The Boston office will provide a closer base for ITI Group’s existing clients in the region, while creating additional capacity for growth across its priority U.S. markets: food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, industrial manufacturing, chemicals and energy.

“Opening an office in Boston is a strategic investment in the next phase of ITI Group’s growth in the United States,” said Dominic Murphy, chief executive officer at ITI Group. “Boston is home to a highly concentrated community of life sciences, advanced manufacturing, energy and technology organizations, many of which operate complex, highly regulated and mission-critical environments. We already have meaningful client relationships in the region, and this location gives us an even stronger platform to be close to customers, build our team and support their long-term priorities.”
