ProTech Sponsors the First Annual MEMTECH Awards

As technology has increasingly become an integral part of life, Memphis has grown as a leader in the ever-changing field. Home to companies and individuals who find cutting edge solutions and spark creative new ideas, the city is continually making great strides in technology, thanks to leaders and innovators in the Mid-South. ProTech Services Group is proud to be a leading technology provider in our area, and happy to celebrate the hard-working professionals who make great contributions to our field.
