About SimuTech Group

Our Story

SimuTech Group’s roots began in 2000, when STI Technologies was purchased by Ken Lally in Rochester, NY. At the time STI’s business was primarily centered on turbine blade failure analysis and engineering technology development, with a smaller focus on Ansys simulation software as an Ansys Channel Partner. As Ken assessed the core strengths of the business and future growth potential, he recognized customers rapidly expanding desire to improve their product development process by leveraging the capabilities of Ansys software simulation. As the breadth of Ansys products continued to expand, he concluded that building a critical mass of support and consulting service engineers would help customers improve their products. He identified several other North American Ansys Channel Partners and acquired the following companies over the next several years; JLR Engineering Solutions Co (Seattle, WA), ROI Engineering (Toronto & Montreal), Ohio Computer Aided Engineering (Cleveland, OH), and Belcan software sales group (Chicago, IL).

In 2008 SimuTech Group was formed to integrate these operations and scale the business to provide engineering expertise and customer support across the range of Ansys simulation capabilities. SimuTech Group also became the largest Ansys Channel Partner in North America. Since that time SimuTech Group has grown organically, through further acquisition (Wind Turbine Test Co, 2016), and via increasingly broadened simulation capabilities as an Ansys Channel Partner. The Company has achieved the highest level of recognition as an Ansys Channel Partner (Elite) and was recently recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in the Rochester, NY area. With a new headquarters building opening in 2020 and multiple regional offices across the US and Canada, SimuTech employs a staff of over 120 professionals.

SimuTech Group is a privately-owned, family-owned, and woman-owned business, with Ken’s daughter, Katie Lally, now the majority Owner and Chief Revenue Officer. As a family owned and operated business, we treat all employees like ‘family,’ and this is a core value of the company. From outstanding health benefits, to company events that include employees’ families, and on-going employee training and development, SimuTech truly cares about all employees like family.
