Black Box is a publicly traded global digital infrastructure and IT solutions provider. The company delivers network and system integration, managed services and technology products to enterprise customers, and operates across the networking, communications technology and digital infrastructure segments. It is headquartered in Plano, Texas, with operations spanning the globe.
The business traces its origins to 1976 in Lawrence, Pennsylvania, where it began by distributing networking and communications technology products from a catalogue of nine items across six pages. Nearly five decades later it employs that same founding premise - a gap in the market for reliable networking and communications products - as the basis for a portfolio built around enterprise IT.
Its three principal lines of business are: comprehensive network and system integration services for enterprise digital infrastructure; managed services that help businesses build, manage and optimise their digital infrastructure; and technology products in networking and communications. Black Box positions itself as a long-standing IT solutions partner to enterprises in the networking, communications and digital infrastructure sectors.
