Company History

Innova Technologies, Inc. is a specialty structural engineering company that was started in March 2003 by Carlos Banchik, with the support of Adriana Gonorazky. In 2007, Adriana joined Innova Technologies full time, with Rob Naples joining shortly thereafter. Over time, with the input of every employee, the Core Values and Mission Statement of the firm were developed. They reflect who we are as a group of committed, responsible professionals. Innova is led by a Leadership Team. Innova also has a Strategic Planning Group composed of the Leadership Team and select managers and employees.

Why Innova Technologies

We promote open communications and strong teamwork to maximize results. Clients rely on our technical expertise, professional resources, and objective perspective. Innova’s strategy is fundamentally unique. Our process for each project is based on five pillars: Practical Approach, Mission Statement, Core Values, Creative Solutions, and Strategic Partnerships.

Practical Approach

From concept to completion, Innova is hands-on and proactive. We brainstorm with each other and with our consultants (i.e., architects, contractors, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing engineers), about project design concepts, construction costs to provide value-engineering, and often times below budget. This has been a successful practical approach.

Mission Statement

Innova Technologies provides creative structural, transportation, and construction engineering solutions for challenging projects, relentlessly pursuing quality and excellence.  We are a profitable organization that cares about our customers, our team members, and the society where we operate.

Core Values

Innova promotes teamwork, quality, enjoyment of work, and integrity. In every project that Innova undertakes, our principles are encouraged, verified and reinforced. We believe that by following and supporting these values at every stage in the project, we assure the best customer service and the best product to our clients.

Creative Solutions

Innova’s culture is to be innovative and creative. With over 150 years of combined experience in engineering and construction solutions, Innova’s engineers are encouraged to think outside the box and solve project difficulties in non-conventional ways.

Strategic Partnerships

Success in our industry goes beyond quality work—it’s about strong, strategic partnerships. Collaborating with clients, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and industry partners drives efficiency, innovation, and long-term success. By aligning project goals, streamlining communication, and enhancing problem-solving, we navigate challenges effectively and deliver high-quality results. At Innova, these partnerships are the foundation of our success, strengthening project outcomes and contributing to a more resilient built environment.
