World Wide Technology Inc., the Maryland Heights-based distributor of information technology products and services, continues to stand out as the nation’s top-grossing black-owned business, coming in at No. 1 on the Black Enterprise Industrial/Service 100 list for the third consecutive year.
“We showed growth across all of our sectors,” says David Steward, WWT founder and chairman, which produced $1.85 billion in revenues in 2005.
“Next year we will exceed $2 billion in revenues.”
If Steward’s claim holds true, WWT will be the second black-owned business in history to break the $2 billion barrier. The first was TLC Beatrice International Holdings exactly one decade ago.
The June 2006 issue of Black Enterprise—with the complete B.E. 100 rankings and company overviews—will be available on newsstands May 30.
