Corporate Technologies Marks 45 Years as a Leading Managed IT and Cybersecurity Provider for U.S. Small Businesses

The Eden Prairie, Minnesota MSP, a 2026 Channel Futures MSP 501 winner, now serves 2,000+ clients across 18 states and 21 markets.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corporate Technologies, a managed service provider (MSP) founded in 1981, today announced it is celebrating 45 years of delivering managed IT services, cybersecurity, compliance, and cloud services to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) across the United States.

Founded in 1981 in Fargo, North Dakota and now headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Corporate Technologies has grown from a regional IT provider into a national MSP serving 2,000+ clients across 18 states and 21 markets, all supported by a United States based, 24/7 help desk. The company was named a winner of the Channel Futures MSP 501, the industry’s most prestigious ranking of managed service providers, in 2026 and in prior years.

“When we started in 1981, technology was a back-office expense. Today it is the engine of every small business,” said Jim Griffith, CEO of Corporate Technologies. “Forty-five years in, our mission is the same: give every small and mid-sized business access to the same enterprise-grade IT and security that larger companies take for granted. What matters is the capability of your IT partner, not the size of your company.”

Corporate Technologies differentiates itself from the estimated tens of thousands of U.S. MSPs through dedicated service delivery teams, a 24/7 help desk that resolves roughly 93 percent of issues remotely, a dedicated account manager with monthly reporting and a technology roadmap, and a full stack of cybersecurity services and cloud services. Its flat-rate managed IT packages carry a 60-day money-back guarantee, and its local teams operate across 21 markets so clients can reach an engineer who can be on site.

The anniversary follows the company’s first quarterly SMB Technology and Cyber Resilience Index, published in 2026, which measures operational data across its managed client base. According to the Index, managed clients experienced roughly 80 percent lower modeled downtime cost and about four times fewer outages than the SMB average, and Corporate Technologies blocked 12,977 ransomware attempts across its client base in a single quarter while maintaining a 99.9 percent uptime SLA on its cloud services.

MAC.BID Brings $1 Online Auctions & Deep Retail Discounts to the St. Louis Metro

New St. Peters warehouse lets local shoppers bid on returned, overstock goods from top national retailers, with savings of up to 80% off retail

PITTSBURGH, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Online retail liquidation company, MAC.BID, announced today the opening of its 30th retail location in St. Peters, Missouri, part of the St. Louis metro area. The new facility, located at 16060 Spencer Road St. Peters, MO 63376, will open later this fall and is expected to create more than 70 new local jobs.

St. Peters warehouse lets shoppers bid on returned, overstock goods from national retailers, with savings of up to 80%

MAC.BID buys returned and overstocked products by the truckload from top retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, and Wayfair and resells the items individually through their proprietary online auction platform. All products are put up for auction with an opening bid of $1, and are sold to the highest bidder with no reserve price. Winning bidders can expect to save up to 80% off retail while enjoying the online auction process.

“We’re excited to become part of the St. Peters and the larger St. Louis Metro community as we open our 30th warehouse,” said Kellen Campbell, co-founder and president of MAC.BID. “We see real opportunity here, for the local economy, for the more than 70 people we’ll hire, and for shoppers across the St. Louis metro area looking for a smarter way to save.”

MAC.BID operates at the heart of retailers’ biggest headache: reverse logistics. MAC.BID works directly with major retailers to process truckloads of returned and overstock merchandise that would otherwise be difficult and costly for retailers to handle internally. Retail returns require significant labor, time, and warehouse space to inspect, sort, and re-route back to inventory, often at a scale that makes it inefficient for retailers to manage in-house. Instead, many retailers choose to sell this inventory in bulk to MAC.BID, allowing products to move quickly through a streamlined resale process.

“As grocery bills, gas prices, and everyday costs keep climbing, families are having to choose between the things they need and the things they love,” Campbell added. “MAC.BID changes that. We deliver deep discounts on the products people already love and make saving money feel like winning, not settling.”

At its core, MAC.BID believes in providing second chances for the products they sell and communities they impact. The company’s devotion to sustainability ensures that many returned and overstocked items find a new home through its marketplace and aren’t left squandered.

The Pennsylvania-based company now employs over 1,600 teammates across its 30 locations in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. In 2025 alone, MAC.BID helped customers save more than $1.1 billion off retail pricing, driven by more than 17,000 truckloads of products processed and 300,000+ items put up for auction daily through the company’s auction platform.
