About CDW
CDW Corporation, headquartered in Vernon Hills, Illinois, is a leading reseller of computer hardware, software and supplies. Along with its warehouse-attached showroom in Illinois, CDW takes orders from its catalog via mail order, telephone and the Internet.
The company has a secondary division known as CDW-G, devoted solely to United States governmental purchasers, such as from schools, universities, cities, and the state and federal government. The product catalogs are identical between the sites, except that government purchasers may choose to use contractual purchasing terms if they are required to do so.
CDW was originally incorporated as "MPK Computing" by its founding member Michael Krasny, who currently ranks on Fortune magazine's list of the wealthiest Americans.
In early 2006, CDW opened a 513,000 square foot distribution center in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The Vernon Hills, Illinois distribution center is roughly 450,000 square feet.
CDW currently ranks number 343 on the Fortune 500 list. They also rank number 34 on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work for. In 2005 CDW employees donated the money for their holiday party (more than $1 million) to hurricane relief.
CDW has recently announced the acquisition of Berbee, a top tier reseller of IBM, Cisco, and Microsoft products and services. This is CDW's second major acquisition after purchasing Micro Warehouse in September of 2003 opening up 2 remote offices New Jersey. One in Voorhees and the other in Eatontown employing over 500 people.
