Our Growth
Tekla Research has achieved remarkable but sustainable growth, year in and year out. Our employee-oriented atmosphere has fostered great loyalty and allowed us to retain existing talent and expand upon our already accomplished workforce. Our former aviators liken our culture to a ready room, our career civilian employees to a family, while our junior employees see the benefits of working alongside and learning from their more experienced counterparts. We succeed because our employees are highly motivated, and because we insist on working with carefully selected, like-minded companies who help us deliver timely, mission focused, cost effective decisions, products and solutions. Our unwavering commitment to our ethics and to customer service has allowed Tekla to produce remarkable long-term relationships and trust with customers and partners.
