Our Story
Like many family-owned businesses, CTK has traversed a unique path since the company's
inception. Aleck Vasiliou established Cabletek Systems Inc. in 1999, surrounded by a small team
of local technicians. With a focus on structured cabling, Aleck prioritized the customer
experience, building strong relationships and ensuring his clients’ needs came first. Cabletek
thrived throughout the 2000’s, securing work from large customers like Cineplex and the Peel
District School Board.
In 2014, Aleck was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, making it increasingly difficult to keep
up with the operations of the business, and casting uncertainty over the company’s future. In late
2017, Aleck took on a business partner under a new company name and Cabletek became
inactive.
It was at this time that Aleck’s son, Chris Vasiliou, began working for the new company as a
technician. He had graduated from a Civil Engineering program at Humber College earlier that
year. When the business partnership ended in 2021, Aleck and Chris were able to revive their old
business and in October of that same year, Cabletek was reactivated. With several years of
experience now under his belt, Chris took over the daily operations of the company.
With the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris, serving as the Vice President, began to
rebuild Cabletek with a focus on putting systems, structure and personnel in place to create long-
term growth. With Aleck’s guidance, Chris developed new divisions of the company to
complement their structured cabling services and meet the evolving needs of their most loyal
clients. In early 2022, Cabletek launched its electrical division. With hard work, focus and
determination, the company experienced a period of unprecedented growth.
Cabletek had undergone major transformations since 1999, but it was time to make one more
change to the business. In 2023, Cabletek Systems Inc. became CTK, a manifestation of the
company’s desire to be limitless in their service offerings to their clients. Customers, new
employees and colleagues alike often ask for the meaning behind the name CTK, but the letters
do not stand for anything. Nonetheless, there is great significance to them. CTK pays tribute to
the Cabletek name and serves as a vestige of the family business’ beginnings. More importantly,
it is a reminder of the unending possibilities that lay ahead.
CTK is now a licensed electrical, certified structured cabling and certified security contractor
with a strong presence across Canada. Aleck is now able to focus on his health while
contributing to the company in new ways. Chris continues to work tirelessly to grow and expand
the business.
There is no project too large and no job too small, CTK is willing to do it all.
