About Us
Where creativity and science meet
4 Minds are Better than 2
We have a saying at PentaGeer: two minds are better than one, and four minds are better than two. For us, collaboration is crucial to developing innovative solutions. In our office, there’s no such thing as a stupid question, and we’re always ready to hear any outside-of-the-box idea. Because when a team collaborates effectively, that is when those industry-changing Eureka! moments occur.
Our Mission
we act as an extension of your team, bringing over 100 years of combined experience to each project we complete. You can trust that the solutions we deliver will be thoroughly executed and will go well beyond your expectations.
Our Vision
we are fun, creative, and collaborative, so you get a team of professionals that work hard but are always ready with a quirky joke (PS, if you join us on a Friday, expect to see some fun Hawaiian shirts).
World Class Experience
Each of the directors at PentaGeer has worked within the Top 3 global energy service companies. We were also mechanical leads on next-gen product development specializing in harsh environments with next-gen electronics.
