Company Positioned for Growth in 2025
Columbus, OH – April 30, 2025 – Hy-Tek Intralogistics, a premier provider of consulting, software, systems and services for supply chain automation technology, announced today important changes to the company’s leadership structure to build on an impressive growth history and to continue increasing market share. Long-time Hy-Tek leaders, Donnie Johnson and Mark Bruner, will take on newly created roles on the company’s leadership team to better align the organization around demand generation and operational execution.
With more than 40 years in the industry, and more than 20 years leading Hy-Tek, Johnson and Bruner have built Hy-Tek into an industry leader and successfully led multiple acquisitions. “We are excited to take on these new roles and contribute to helping accelerate our growth by focusing on the customer and working with a talented group of people. The future at Hy-Tek could not be brighter,” said Johnson.
Bruner added, “The growth of Hy-Tek has been amazing and it has been great to be a part of that. We are looking forward to continuing to help shape the future by focusing on mission critical projects while mentoring our future leaders. We will continue to push ourselves to operate at an ever-increasing level of high performance.”
Using a strategy of organic growth and targeted acquisition, Johnson and Bruner have been cornerstones in the exceptional growth of Hy-Tek and have led the Hy-Tek expansion into new services and vertical markets while successfully integrating multiple companies into the market leader Hy-Tek is today.
Johnson will now become Chief Customer Relations Officer for Hy-Tek Intralogistics, after serving as President, Integrated Systems Division for Hy-Tek Material Handling, Inc. In his role, Donnie will focus on strengthening relationships with customers while also mentoring the next generation of sales leaders at Hy-Tek to provide the best solutions for material handing needs.
Bruner will become Chief Operations Advisor after serving most recently as the Hy-Tek Intralogistics Chief Operating Officer. In his more than two decades with Hy-Tek, Bruner excels in operations management, inventory management, supply chain optimization, troubleshooting and continuous improvement.
“Donnie and Mark have been the driving force in our business for many years and are recognized across the industry as leaders, partners and friends,” said Hy-Tek Intralogistics CEO Kevin Viravec. “In their new roles, they will help us strengthen our enterprise account strategy and reach new levels of growth and strategic alignment with our partners. We are excited to have them continuing with us on this journey.”
Johnson will hand off systems leadership responsibility to Billy Carter, SVP of Systems Sales. Bruner will pass day-to-day operational and execution leadership to Brian Craft, who has been promoted to SVP of Operations and will assume responsibility for engineering, controls, product deployment, installation, procurement and IT.
Johnson and Bruner will immediately begin working with the new senior leadership group on detailed plans to support their respective teams well into the future. These moves are expected to increase Hy-Tek market share and customer satisfaction in the software and services sectors of the industry and will utilize cutting-edge technologies to match existing market leading sales, design and engineering to produce the most effective one-stop shop for all.
