Black Box Distribution owners on their new partnership, the recession, Insight, Crossroads and the future

I drove to Carlsbad this month to meet with Jamie Thomas and Frank Messman of Black Box Distribution to find out more about what is happening with the company.

Black Box, home to Fallen footwear and Zero skateboards among other brands, has been in the news lately after signing a distribution and back office deal with Insight to help the Australian brand navigate the U.S. market. It also is dipping its toe in the trade show business with Crossroads, a skateboard trade show it will host again in its parking lot in September.
