About Us

Supply chains are more volatile than ever. Tariffs shift. Shipping tightens. Lead times move. And for OEMs, one small component can put an entire production schedule at risk.

What most companies lack is not access to suppliers.

It is trusted follow-through.

Ampersand was created to bridge that gap.

We are not a catalog house. We are not a faceless sourcing desk. We are a partner built around the part of the business too many suppliers treat as overhead: service.

At the center of Ampersand is an unlikely partnership: an educator and a therapist who became entrepreneurs in the world of builders, engineers, and procurement teams.

We did not come from magnetics first. We came from people first.

Our careers have been shaped by listening carefully, understanding what is at stake, solving problems under pressure, and staying accountable when trust matters. That same practice now shapes how we run Ampersand.

Because in manufacturing, service is not soft.

Service is the difference between a delay you can plan around and a surprise that stops your line.

Between a supplier who sends an update only when asked and a partner who solves the issue coming before it reaches your dock.

Our work connects California and the world, engineering and production, drawings and finished parts, customers and the builders whose hands make the work possible.

An ampersand joins things.

The result is not just a part.

It is a partnership that allows you to focus on building and winning.
