About us

Our Story

Westcon-Comstor is a global technology distributor specialising in cybersecurity, networking, and hybrid cloud solutions.

As growth architects of the channel, we connect technology from the world’s leading vendors with a channel of IT partners, helping them seize opportunities and turn potential into growth.

Our approach stems from a commitment to delivering Partner Success. We do this by combining data-driven insights, deep technology expertise, and the power of partnerships. This approach has helped our partners succeed for over 40 years.

Where it all began

In 1985, Thomas Dolan, Philip Raffiani and Roman Michalowski founded Westcon Associates in an upstate New York garage.

Westcon helped change the way computer products were sold, adding value by delivering technical support and training, as well as marketing and financing to small businesses.

In 1998, the business consolidated its value-added distribution business under the name Westcon Group. Comstor was brought into the fold a year later to create the business we know today – Westcon-Comstor.
