PROFILE |

Mobile phone mover CellStar does not have a wired sense of humor. A leading global wholesale cellular phone distributor (Brightpoint is its main rival), CellStar gets phones to the many people who want to go wireless. The company distributes phones and accessories made by Ericsson, NEC, Nokia, QUALCOMM, and Motorola to retailers, carriers, exporters, and dealers. Its distribution services include inventory, logistics, and e-commerce management plans. Customers outside North America generate 80% of sales. CellStar runs retail stores in Latin America, Europe, and Asia, and it has sold all but two of its US retail outlets in a round of belt tightening. Founder and CEO Alan Goldfield and his wife own 35% of the company.
