MBX Systems

<p><strong>For about a quarter of a century, MBX has singularly focused on hardware delivery. Our roots took hold in the &lsquo;90s when our founder Tom Crowley found a niche with a mail-order business selling hard drives, motherboards, and other commodity hardware. Back then, people ordered components advertised in trade magazines by telephone, and the way our company differentiated itself was by providing a high-touch customer experience.</strong></p> <p><strong>Over the years we progressively expanded from components to complex hardware solutions, and our customers have shifted from tech enthusiasts to global tech powerhouses. Throughout our growth, we&rsquo;ve stayed true to our singular focus, kept that high-touch approach, and notched up our capabilities with seasoned hardware and software experts and a range of services designed to streamline hardware delivery.</strong></p> https://www.mbx.com/
