We Were Founded on Service—and We’re Ready to Come Through for You
Our relentless focus on serving customers stems from our founder’s service to the country. Philip Olander was a World War II hero who served as an Engineer in the United States Army Air Corps, 303rd Bomb Group. After his B-17 bomber was shot down, Phil was captured and became a prisoner of war in Germany from May 1944 to April 1945.
Once he returned home to California, Phil was inspired to create a business that solved many of the problems and frustrations he had faced as an engineer and aircraft mechanic. He especially wanted to address the challenges and delays that often came with trying to order and obtain fasteners and other parts for maintenance and repairs.
Phil’s inventory management theory and commitment to taking care of people have propelled The Olander Company to its status as a global distributor of precision hardware.
