Testimonials
Here is what THEY say
We are extremely fortunate to work on challenging and interesting projects with passionate and intelligent clients.
“Life is all about doing what you love, with people you enjoy working with.“
“When many others said that our design could not be manufactured, Dan said “Let’s try”. Within a few weeks we had functional prototypes and a Solidworks design file that was essentially approved by the tool maker and injection molder. Dan is highly-experienced, professional, fast, and most important, he is a pleasure to work with. We trust Dan completely to take our ideas and turn them into working products that are thoughtfully engineered to reduce complexity and cost while maximizing performance and the user’s experience.”

“Ampersand has been instrumental in revamping our entire product line. They have a remarkable ability to quickly understand intent and put it into practical design. I’ve found them to be entirely professional and efficient. I recommend their services without reservation.”
— ARJEN SUNDMAN - President - Amfit Inc.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Ampersand over the past eight years on a continuous basis. I have a small consulting practice that is heavily involved in new product development, Ampersand has been extremely helpful assisting me with the development of components for new products, we have just completed a one million dollar project to design and develop a high performance Lawn and Garden Sprayer. We worked as a team, I with the original concepts and Ampersand with the engineering design, which turns ideas into functioning components. We have been very successful on this and many other products over the years.
I am extremely impressed with Ampersand’s engineering design capabilities, not once have we had to go back and make changes to a component, once the design was complete and the component manufactured, it worked as conceived the first time every time. I will continue to work with Ampersand as required and have no hesitation recommending Ampersand for any engineering design concept that may be required. I would be happy to speak to anyone in this regard and wish Ampersand much success with their new venture.”

“The work at Ampersand does is done with great care to accurately represent my idea. They listened to what I wanted the product to be used for, and kept that in mind while designing, yet still gave input based on their prior experiences, as to what would be the most beneficial, cost-effective route. The end result was a design that didn’t even need to be revisited before I was able to make a prototype.”
