How else would Control Techniques celebrate turning 50?

By creating a short film that paves a new way for the future of CT. A story that shows their entrepreneurial spirit, and passion for challenging the status quo. Undoubtedly, innovation, design, knowledge, and expertise are at the core of everything they stand for. Be it past, present, or future, their determination to be the number one drive supplier remains strong.
