Our Story
Itechra, a community-focused IT services company, has come a long way since its humble beginnings.
The company was founded by Roger and Jan Adank in January of 2001. With a background in network consulting, Roger saw an opportunity to provide unique and value-added technology solutions to small and mid-sized businesses in and around the Winona, Minnesota area.
Roger and Jan’s son Ben joined the company in 2004 and they worked out of family’s garage for several years as they built a team with limited resources and a lot of determination to make it a success. Despite the early challenges, they were able to establish a strong customer base and build a reputation for providing best-in-class IT solutions.
They officially moved from the garage to their first office in Winona during the summer of 2007, and with a growing customer base in the Twin Cities, opened the Twin Cities office in the fall of 2016 to provide local service and support. They have moved several times over the years as they grew and most recently purchased the current Winona office in January of 2021. They have since fully remodeled the office and moved to the new location in January of 2023.
With the retirement of Roger and Jan at the end of 2019, Itechra is transitioning to the next generation. Ben’s wife Nicki joined the company in the Fall of 2019 and their son Dylan in the summer of 2017. The team will continue to build on the company's successful track record by providing value-added IT solutions to small and medium-sized businesses while leveraging their humble beginnings and lessons learned over the years.
