The History of AAMP

Originally founded in Clearwater, Florida in 1987 as a one-stop distributor of car audio installation supplies, AAMP of America grew quickly and launched its own proprietary brand of cable, interconnects and car audio electronics - Stinger® - in 1990.

Magazine's 500 Private Companies to Watch, and by 2000 had expanded its house brand portfolio to include Peripheral®, Sound Quest® and Best Kits & Harnesses®. In 2006, the company began focusing heavily on technology innovation and penetrating new retail markets, and in 2008 launched an aggressive growth and investment strategy that included the acquisition of Select Distributors Inc. and Pacific Accessory Corporation, merging the latter with Peripheral to create the world's premier OEM integration solutions provider. In 2010 the company made great strides by introducing its iSimple® brand into the consumer electronics retail channel, and re-launched the Phoenix Gold® mobile brand after acquiring it from Rodin.

Today, AAMP of America continues to expand its service, support, marketing and logistics capabilities by growing its worldwide sales force, extending technical support hours, forging strategic relationships with international partners, and the expanding the company's logistics infrastructure to five facilities in the US and one in Asia.
