Over 50 years ago, Allan and Frances Bickford, along with their son John, launched the company from their home. The basement became their machine shop, warehouse, and office. What began as a small, family effort quickly grew into something bigger.

Allan was steady and soft-spoken. Frances was bold and business-savvy. Together, the Bickfords were the perfect team. Known affectionately by employees as “Mr. & Mrs. B,” they built more than just a company—they built a culture.

Today, we still carry their values forward: integrity, reliability, and a hands-on approach to everything we do.

At AM Bickford, we believe doing business should be straightforward and dependable. As a small, family-owned company, we keep things simple and put people first. Whether you’re a biomed, an HTM professional, or part of a veterinary busy clinic, you need equipment that works—and support you can count on.

We answer the phone. We ship fast. We build products that last. Every tool we offer comes from decades of experience and a hands-on commitment to quality. We don’t follow fads—we stick to what works and focus on what matters: helping you care with confidence.

We support industries that rely on precision and reliability. Veterinary Clinics trust our products to enhance patient care, while Biomedical Engineering Teams rely on the RIKEN FI-8000P Anesthetic Gas Analyzer for accurate monitoring and improved patient safety. Universities and Research Labs count on our tools for critical research and education. Our Distribution Partners ensure professionals worldwide have access to the essential equipment they need. Across all fields, our commitment to providing trusted, reliable tools remains unwavering.
