A few friends from Chatsworth Products (CPI) paid a visit to the Accu-Tech Corporate office this month. What's the special occasion? After a full twenty-five years of partnership, Accu-Tech and CPI have a silver anniversary to celebrate (hence the engraved plaque being held in the photograph above). Fit alongside any anniversary celebration is, of course, a fond story telling about the past...
Long, long ago, in the late 1900s - okay, it was only 1998 - a manufacturer, Chatsworth Products (CPI), and a distributor, Accu-Tech (that's us!), joined forces to lead IT customers to the best products for dialing up, connecting to, and searching on the internet. If one can remember, the now-recognizable technology brands like Apple and Google were merely infants during that time, making our 90's crossover episode a pretty significant piece of IT history in the Southeast.
Since those early days, CPI has brought innovative voice, data and security solutions to the table, allowing Accu-Tech to reliably stock, quote, and deliver tailored products to customers that need them most. Just as the technology industry will adapt to new challenges at the edge, so will our partnership; no matter the size of a facility or the unique details of an application, together Accu-Tech and CPI can optimize, store and secure critical IT equipment. One could say we are the ultimate 'power couple'.
Now that Accu-Tech history has been written down accordingly, be sure to read Chatsworth Products' side of the love story, too. It takes two to tango, and Accu-Tech has every intention to partner with CPI for another quarter century, distributing their trusted solutions to the market.
