About the Company

TD Synnex

Supplies computers and software to IT resellers

TD SYNNEX buys computers, software, and cloud services from technology makers and resells them to the IT resellers and service providers that equip businesses and governments. Acting as a middleman lets a reseller source everything from laptops to cloud subscriptions through one account instead of signing separate deals with each manufacturer. Beyond shipping products from its warehouses, it runs logistics, repair, financing, and technical support for its partners, earning money on the gap between purchase and resale prices plus service fees. TD SYNNEX was formed in 2021 when Synnex, founded in 1980, merged with Tech Data, and it has headquarters in Clearwater, Florida, and Fremont, California.
