Syscon, founded in 1986 by Larry and Cathy Wendt, is a leading technology services company
headquartered in Hinsdale, Illinois, a second office in Phoenix, and clients all across the U.S.
How did the business start?
Larry’s dad was a small business owner – a mason contractor in Glen Ellyn. Larry worked in his dad’s shop and the field as a union laborer and bricklayer through high school and college. While Larry was in graduate school for mathematics, following an undergrad in Physics, he interned as a computer programmer. These were the early days, when computers were new to small business owners. (IBM introduced the personal computer in 1981.) When friends of Larry’s dad found out Larry knew about computers, they asked for his help with their computer systems. Larry and Cathy, already entrepreneurs, took the natural step into starting their own tech company, providing computer support to businesses. As the use of computers in business quickly grew, so did Syscon – to meet the growing demands of tech services and hardware. Cathy and Larry want to thank all their customers for a successful 30-year history!
