History
D&H Distributing was founded as Economy Tire and Rubber, a tire retreading company, established by brothers-in-law David Schwab and Harry Spector. In 1921, the company began selling wholesale parts for automobile service industry, adding crystal radios by 1926 and moving into a distribution capacity by signing with radio manufacturer Philco. Consumer appliances such as refrigerators, washers, vacuum cleaners, and ranges were added to the company's offerings. The company was renamed D&H Distributing on November 8, 1929. By the 1950s, D&H grew along with the boon in both post-World War II kitchen appliance sales and the advent of the television set.
In 1973, D&H established its Electronics Specialty Products Division. By the late seventies, the company entered the video-gaming market with the addition of Atari. As the 1980s approached, D&H licensed products from Texas Instruments, Packard Bell, Commodore Computers and Panasonic Printers, and expanded its consumer electronics linecard to form the distributor's current Computer Products Division. In the late 1980s, it expanded nationally through the addition of warehouses in Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; and Dallas, TX.
The company added large-scale IT networking manufacturers such as Microsoft, Cisco and Lenovo between 2000 and 2006. In 2007, the company expanded outside the US with a Canadian headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario.
