About Us
We have the largest inventory of Sambo Gears in North America
Time to Switch Gears?
Mechanical Advantage Corporation was founded in 2017 by Doug Zimmerman and Tim Burress. The team had noticed a shift in the gear market – long delivery times, no true independent gear manufacturers, and a general lack of high-quality gears. Today, Mechanical Advantage is one of the largest gear distributors in the US and has been the national representative of Sambo Gears in North America for years.
The company is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, and houses its Sambo gear inventory in a warehouse near Bush Intercontinental Airport. In addition, there are several distribution partners located throughout the United States and Canada, each covering a specific region.
