Our Company

About

Founded in 1962, Townsend Systems began as a family business, owned and operated by the Townsend family. While we’ve grown since then and ownership has changed hands, we pride ourselves on retaining that same tight-knit, locally-oriented approach to doing business. With 63 years of experience under our belt, and hundreds of years of combined on-the-job experience among our experts, we’ve seen it all, but we’re not resting on our laurels — we are devoted to constant growth and innovation to suit the ever changing needs of our clients in a technology-driven world.
