Who We Are
While we may manufacture IT connectivity accessories, StarTech.com is truly in the business of making the lives of IT professionals easy.
Founded in 1985 in London, Ontario, Canada by Paul Seed and Ken Kalopsis, StarTech.com has always been dedicated to solving technology problems faced by IT professionals. Originally known as StarTech Computer Accessories, the company had very humble beginnings as a “Visa Card” funded operation, manufacturing products like computer dust covers in the basement of a house. By focusing on the needs of our customers and continual innovation, StarTech.com has evolved into a global organization offering accessories that support over 200 different technologies, from legacy to the latest.
StarTech.com Founder and CEO, Paul Seed’s dedication to making IT solutions easy to implement has not wavered, nor has his passion for the community. From individual contributions to organization wide campaigns, StarTech.com is committed to staying connected to the community and supporting non-profit organizations across the globe.
