Butler International

Butler International, Inc. is a company that has historically specialized in providing technical and engineering services, primarily to clients in the aerospace, telecommunications, and information technology sectors. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey, Butler International expanded its offerings over the decades to include staffing solutions, outsourcing, and business process services.

The company initially focused on engineering services but eventually widened its scope to include digital technology and IT consulting. This expansion allowed them to cater to a diverse range of industries requiring technical expertise. Butler International often provided services such as systems engineering, software development, and IT infrastructure management.

Throughout its history, Butler International has worked with notable clients, including major aerospace manufacturers, telecom giants, and large corporations requiring technical staffing and consulting services.

However, it's important to note that the company has faced financial challenges over the years. In 2009, Butler International filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Following the bankruptcy, the company was acquired by several entities, leading to reorganization and changes in business focus or structure.

For the most current information about Butler International or any successor entities that may have evolved from its reorganization, it would be best to consult recent business reports, news articles, or official company communications.
