Trox Communications and Tierney Brothers have come together to form Bluum

Trox Communications and Tierney Brothers have come together to form Bluum, a new brand that enhances our national reach and competitiveness in purchasing contracts. By becoming Bluum, we can now offer an expanded range of services, including cybersecurity, networking, educational and advisory services, and professional development for educators.

Trox Communications was once the largest privately held distributor of AV equipment for the U.S. education market. As Trox Communications turned into Bluum, Bluum is able to meet our K-12 customer needs through services like distribution, resale, and system integration.

Which Brands Merged to Form Bluum (formerly Trox Communications)?

Before evolving into Bluum, three key brands—CDI Technologies, Tierney Brothers Inc., and various subsidiaries under the Trox Communications umbrella—came together to establish a unified entity. This collaboration brought substantial growth and reinforced our market leadership.

The collective strength of these brands inspired us to choose a new name that reflects our combined capabilities and shared vision: Bluum.

Now, as Bluum, we have expanded our offerings and provide more tailored services, ensuring our commitment to exceptional service and innovative solutions remains stronger than ever.
