LYONS FALLS — Otis Technology in Lewis County has promoted the company’s executive VP to serve as CEO, beginning Jan. 1, 2026.
Brad McIntyre has worked for Otis for more than 25 years, per the firm’s Dec. 9 announcement. Otis Technology, which specializes in gun maintenance, is located at 6987 Laura St. in Lyons Falls.
McIntyre will succeed Bill Kleftis, who has served as CEO since 2022. Kleftis will remain with the company in an advisory capacity through the first quarter of 2026 to “ensure a seamless transition,” Otis Technology said.
Throughout his time with Otis, McIntyre has been instrumental in developing and strengthening Otis Technology’s relationships with government/military and international partners, the company says.
“His deep understanding of these markets and his strategic leadership have helped position Otis as a trusted provider of mission-critical solutions across the globe,” per the email.
“Brad’s promotion is a natural evolution for Otis,” Kleftis said in the announcement. “He’s not a newcomer; we’ve grown together, and he’s helped shape the company into what it is today. His ability to inspire teams and execute strategy has been instrumental in our success. I am confident that under Brad’s leadership, Otis will continue to thrive and evolve while staying true to our roots.”
Otis Technology is known for manufacturing advanced gun-cleaning systems and accessories. Doreen Williams founded the business in 1985 as a teenager. The company has about 100 employees.
“When I hear the word Otis, I feel family. Brad has been part of the Otis family for many years, and his promotion is not just a milestone for the company, but a reflection of the culture we’ve nurtured since day one,” Williams, who also serves as chairwoman of its board of directors, said in the announcement. “His leadership is grounded in integrity, mutual respect, and a deep commitment to our employees, customers, and the communities we serve. His leadership will carry Otis forward with strength and purpose.”
