International Minicomputer Accessories Corporation, simply known as Inmac, was publicly traded American consumer electronics company independently active from 1975 to 1996.
Inmac was founded by Ken Eldred and Jim Willenborg, who met while in the MBA program at Stanford Business School.
Inmac was the first company to sell computer-related products and accessories via direct-mail catalogs.
[citation needed] From its initial Palo Alto, California location, Inmac expanded internationally to England (1980), Germany (1982), Sweden (1983), France (1983), the Netherlands (1984), Canada (1987), Italy (1988), and Japan (1990).
By 1989, Inmac was publishing 35 million catalogs in eight different languages, as international sales accounted for more than half the company's revenue.
