In a May 13 news release, the company stated the acquisition of Ample Supply Company supports LINC Systems’s growth strategy by enhancing regional coverage, expanding product offerings and improving the company’s ability to serve customers more quickly and efficiently.

“LINC’s longstanding reputation as an industry leader is built on an unwavering dedication to integrity and the highest business ethics — principles that have always been central to Ample Supply’s mission and culture,” added Mike LaRocco, President of Ample Supply. “It is also reassuring to know that our dedicated employees, who have contributed so much to Ample’s success, will have expanded opportunities through LINC. Together, we look forward to delivering even greater value, expanded capabilities, and enhanced service to our customers, while contributing to LINC’s continued growth and success.”

The acquisition is LINC Systems’ first since October 2025, when it purchased Allied Fastening Supply — a 30-year-old company operating from Vancouver, WA. Founded in 1995, LINC has been owned by Center Rock Capital Partners since 2018. The company has 16 locations across the U.S.
