Chris Gatewood
President
In 1992, Chris became infected by the centrifuge bug. Started from the ground up in an independent centrifuge repair business, Chris learned every aspect of repair and operation of decanters.
In 2012, Chris saw that there was a big deficit in the quality of service and support offered by the OEM. CentriTEK would reestablish quality service and support that most end users have lost from the OEM.
CentriTEK was established as a premier company servicing all brands of decanter centrifuge.
