About Us

Company History:
Founded in 1969 as Shortess-Rawson Associates Inc., our primary business was technology education and test equipment sales. As Shortess-Rawson, we became a leading retailer in the test and measurement industry, proudly supplying companies like JVC, Sony and Panasonic with test equipment. In an attempt to provide our customers with better products and more options, we added additional interactive whiteboard lines like Polyvision, SoftBoards, MicroTouch, Numonics and more. Due to our relationship within the educational market place Shortess-Rawson was selected as a Smartboard distributor in 1997.
 

• In 2000, Tequipment.NET was born as a way to incorporate an online presence to complement its already long established test and measurement business.
• In 2002, due to the increasing popularity of the website Tequipment.NET we brought online Touchboards.com, our division for Interactive Whiteboards and projectors. Later that year we spun off of Shortess-Rawson and became our own independent company, Interworld Highway, LLC.
• In 2003, Interworld Highway moved its operation from Hillside, NJ to Hazlet, NJ and began TechEDU.com, a division focused on emerging educational technologies.
• In 2005, in order to help keep up with our continuous expansion, Interworld Highway moved again to Long Branch, New Jersey where we now occupy a newly renovated building with 10,000 sq. feet of space.
• In 2007, we received recognition as one of the top 500 web retailers, as published in Internet Retailer, and we currently maintain that recognition.
• In 2009, and again, in 2010, we received recognition as one of the 5000 fastest-growing private companies as noted in Inc. 5000.
• In 2011, we launched our Document Camera division. We eagerly provide over 20 brands of cameras that service various computer applications at competitive pricing. In addition, in 2011, we received the Megger brand, ASD Performance award for our overall achievement in sales—a recognition we have received every year since 2007. Finally, in 2011 we incorporated our outside sales division for Touchboards (TB).
• In 2012, in addition to receiving continued recognition as one of Internet Retailers’ Largest Retail Web Sites, our Touchboards.com division was featured in Profile Magazine.

• Launching major features and functions to our websites in order to incorporate a more user-friendly website
• Incorporating an outside sales division for TEquipment (TE)
• Increasing the volume of our attendance and exhibits at tradeshows
• Remaining a successful and competitive presence within the e-commerce industry.
