ST. CLOUD, MINN., MARCH 20, 2026 — Marco Technologies, a leading technology services company, today announced that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Marco on its 2026 Tech Elite 250 list.
This annual list highlights solution providers based in the U.S. and Canada that are committed to excellence and distinguish themselves by attaining top-tier certifications and specializations from leading technology vendors in areas such as artificial intelligence, infrastructure, cloud, and security.
To support customers through the growing complexities of IT and the rise of cutting-edge technologies like AI, the solution providers on this list uphold rigorous levels of training and certification from strategic IT vendors, often aiming for the pinnacle tiers within these vendors’ partner programs. Whether they are strategic service providers, systems integrators, managed service providers, or value-added resellers, these elite solution providers are committed to their customers’ success.
This will be the eighth consecutive year that Marco has been recognized on the list. Clay Ostlund, President of the IT Division, believes that the company’s enduring success is due, in no small part, to its focus on relationships:
"Eight years on the Tech Elite 250 isn't something that just happens. Business technology is always moving forward, and so the bar is always rising. We were excited to see that AI expertise was now part of the equation alongside infrastructure, cloud, and security. And our teams have put in the work to meet that challenge head-on.
But certifications only matter if they translate into better outcomes for clients. We don't just deliver products; we help our clients understand what technology means for their business and make decisions with confidence. Earning this recognition tells us our approach is working — and it motivates us to keep innovating."
“Congratulations to the solution providers named to CRN’s Tech Elite 250 on this well‑earned recognition of their commitment to advanced certifications and deep expertise in these critical technologies,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN at The Channel Company. “These organizations continue to invest in expanding their capabilities so they can deliver exceptional IT solutions that help their customers succeed.
