PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, December 9, 2010 -- Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX - News) today announced the formation of a new joint venture company with Genesis Networks Enterprises, LLC (Genesis).

This venture, based on Genesis’ existing Networks Integration Services Division, strengthens and enhances Genesis’ ability to deliver and support voice and data communications solutions to its enterprise customers.

“Black Box is committed to partnering with best-in-class companies to help solve important customer problems,” said Terry Blakemore, Black Box Corporation President and CEO. “Through consistent demonstrated performance over the years, Black Box and Genesis have earned strong reputations in the market for delivering enterprise communications services..
