History
PlumChoice started in CEO and Founder Ted Werth’s basement in 2001.[2]
In January 2006, the company moved to an office location in Bedford, Massachusetts.[2] Shortly after, PlumChoice and Firedog finalized their service contract,[3] and PlumChoice began operating its first call center in April of that year.
In April 2007, PlumChoice moved office locations to Billerica, Massachusetts.
In 2009, Edison Ventures announced it was investing $2.8 million in PlumChoice to help “grow the company’s markets, expand sales, and support marketing, business operations, and product development”.[4]
In October 2009, PlumChoice opened its second location in Scarborough, Maine.[5]
In September 2011, PlumChoice announced a partnership with N.E.W. and Asurion that will bring customer help services to NEWAsurion's existing warranty, insurance, and product offerings. PlumChoice's Americas president and COO Fred King believes this new partnership will result in the ability for PlumChoice, Asurion, and N.E.W. to collectively "meet more than 95 percent of consumer and small business technology needs."[6]
