Founded in 1974 by Edward C. Raymund, Tech Data began by marketing data processing supplies directly to end users of mini and mainframe computers. In 1983 the company expanded its targeted markets and redirected its efforts toward servicing microcomputer resellers as a wholesale distributor. Tech Data expanded into Canada in 1989 through an acquisition, and in early 1993 the company launched an export division based in Miami to serve the Latin American market. Tech Data entered the European market in 1994 through the acquisition of Paris-based Softmart International, S.A, France's largest distributor of personal computer products. In July 1998 the company acquired a majority interest in Munich-based Computer 2000, Europe's leading provider of IT products to resellers.
