’s History:
HobbyStuff4U is subsidiary of GeekStuff4U. Geekstuff4U website was formed in 2004 as a joint venture between HI Consultants Japan and Specialty Import Group, Inc. of New York. Started during one of the most exciting periods for the high-tech industry, HI Consultants was formed in 1988 with an initial capital of ¥3,000,000. The goal of the company was to offer hardware and software consulting solutions for companies in the greater Yokohama and Tokyo area. Many of their largest customers turned out to be trading companies doing a brisk business between Japan and the United States.
SIG, Inc. formed in 2001 with an initial capital of US $500,000. SIG, Inc. was originally a number of smaller Japanese trading companies based in New York dealing in various products from the U.S., Europe and South America. They were consolidated under one company in 2001. SIG, Inc. decided to maintain its close ties with Japan and the IT industry by rekindling and continuing their successful business relationship with HI Consultants. The result was a new trading company and website focused on bringing the hottest new technology Japan has to offer right to your doorstep in Europe, North America and Asia.
Although GeekStuff4U.com has just arrived on the Internet scene, we actually have over 16 years of business experience on several continents in IT hardware, software and consulting services. We also have an excellent track record of quality service to our customers. We maintain a warehouse at our headquarters in Tokyo, Japan as well as a Sales office on 5th Avenue in New York on the 76th floor of the Empire State Building. We also plan to expand into Europe and the Middle East in the near future. Overall, it is an exciting time to be a part of GeekStuff4U team and we appreciate your loyal patronage.
