Tom Smith Email & Phone Number

Owning ALLTITE is a far stretch from Tom Smith’s original aspirations. After graduating from The University of Kansas with an English degree in 1995, he took what was meant to be a gap year before law school. Those first days saw a freshly minted English B.A. peddling the industry’s first hydraulic torque wrenches from the back of a pick-up to heavy industrial customers across the Midwest. This was grueling work about as far from academia as you could imagine. But Smith discovered his knack for problem-solving was well applied to finding better solutions for his customers and their industry. The gap year turned into eight. In 2003 Smith’s efforts to persuade the tool company who had given him his start to expand their offerings to better fit the customer’s needs were frustrated. An unshakable optimist and entrepreneur, Smith created ALLTITE to do what he knew the industry needed. While the hydraulic wrench industry he left has not changed much, the solutions that Smith created have been adopted as standard by those entering it. The many innovations that have sprung from the Wichita-based ALLTITE include the first onsite calibration service (2005), the first cloud-based calibration documentation (2009) and a QR-coded paperless certificate retrieval system (2013). Even the COVID-19 pandemic could not dim ALLTITE’s vision for innovation. In 2020, Smith led his team to launch a Wind Tech services division, offering smart techs with smart tools for a smarter industry. While Tom Smith enjoys his job as CEO, he’s still at his happiest rolling up his sleeves, talking to customers and climbing towers in search of that next innovation.
