J TEC Associates Leader Builds Diversified High Tech Firm
Ted Johnson, Cedar Rapids based founder of J TEC Associates with Bob Joy, built a 67 employee, profitable firm after returning from Washington 22 years ago. The company makes flow meters and laser tech, expanded by acquiring Clyde Industries America, and partners with University of Iowa on laser and carpal nerve sensor projects. Johnson highlights diversified markets as a hedge against single product failures and discusses Iowa’s growing high tech support, seed capital needs, and his varied public service roles.
