Mount Cedar Technologies, Inc., also referred to as Cedar Tech, was founded in Los Angeles, CA in 1995 by John Curtis and Frank Mathew. More than 80% of Cedar Tech’s business comes from customers within California while less than 20% comes from other states. The company started off as an importer and distributor of computer accessories such as computer cables, audio/video cables, surge protectors, etc. In 1998, the company added new products by becoming a provider of third party technology, including hardware, software and services to corporate customers including computer and networking accessories, computers, peripherals, printers, displays, printer consumables, and software. They also offered services such as installing hardware and peripherals into systems, provided standard and custom hardware configuration for personal computers (PCs), notebooks, printers and servers.
