The company is a provider of communications products. HistoryThe company was founded as Expandor, Inc. by Eugene Yost and Richard "Dick" Raub,[4][5] and offered printer switches popularly called "black boxes".[6] It published a popular "Black Box Catalog"[7] which was the basis of changing its name to Black Box Corporation in 1982. Another division, Interlan, sold local area network equipment. After a slow-down in business in the mid-1980s and Black Monday of 1987, Odyssey Partners acquired the company in 1988, through a leveraged buyout. A proposed sale was met with a lawsuit, although the Interlan division was sold to Racal in 1989.[8][9] Black Box was re-organized in 1990 after losses from the debt servicing. Despite getting $5.5 million in fees for the deal, Drexel Burnham Lambert filed for its own bankruptcy the same year.[10] The no-action letter from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in June 1990 has been used as a legal precedent for similar cases.[11] The profitable catalog sales business moved from Simi Valley in California to Lawrence, Pennsylvania and changed its name to Black Box Incorporated.[12][13] The telecommunications product business was split out to a subsidiary called Micom Communications Corporation.[14][15] An initial public offering was made in December 1992 to cover the debt used to finance the 1990 deal (after two previous failed attempts), under the name MB Communications.[16] In 1994, the Micom Communications unit was spun off, and acquired by Northern Telecom (Nortel) in June 1996.[17] In January 2019, AGC Networks acquired Black Box Corporation, making Black Box a wholly owned subsidiary of AGC. Black Box continues to operate as a worldwide telecommunications provider independently.
