Originally established in 1946 as a venetian blinds merchant, US Markerboard became the leader in the whiteboard and communication board industry in 1997 when they developed their Web site as a way to reach customers from across the country and around the world. Up until that point, customers were limited to the quality, selection and design that the local companies were willing to offer, but today, US Markerboard caters to some of the world's largest companies and educational institutions such as Boston University, NASA, Alcoa, California Closets, and The Gillette Company.
