(Columbia, MD – February 25, 2026) — XPERTECHS has been named a Baltimore Business Journal 2026 Family-Owned Business Award honoree. The award celebrates multi-generational, family-owned businesses in Greater Baltimore for their excellence, innovation, and community impact.

Founded in 1988 by Michael Mellott, XPERTECHS has grown from a regional IT services provider into a nationally recognized managed IT company. In addition to supporting clients through stable, secure IT systems, the company operates as a Managed Intelligence Provider, helping small and midsize businesses utilize AI, automation, and advanced cybersecurity to up their game. Michael’s sons Mike Mellott, President, and Joe Mellott, Vice President, lead the company today, with Michael continuing as Founder and Chairman.

“This recognition means a lot to our family and to our team,” said Mike Mellott. ” My father spent four decades learning that truly serving clients means acting as a partner, not just a vendor. That’s still how we operate, and it’s the foundation everything else is built on.”

XPERTECHS is deeply rooted in the Greater Baltimore community, supporting organizations including the Maryland Zoo, Platoon 22, the Maryland Food Bank, and No Person Left Behind, among others, through chamber involvement and local partnerships.

The company has earned consistent national recognition, appearing on the Baltimore Business Journal’s Fast 50 list multiple times and ranking among the nation’s Top 100 managed IT services providers.

“Greater Baltimore has been home to this company for nearly four decades,” said Joe Mellott. “The clients and partners we’ve built relationships with here are the reason we’ve been able to grow and do what we do.”

XPERTECHS delivers managed IT services, managed cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and business process automation to organizations across financial services, construction, healthcare, manufacturing, legal, and government contractors.
