OUR STORY
 | Humble Beginnings (1979)Our story began in 1979 with Pete’s Performance, a small speed workshop in a modest garage, founded by Pete, an automotive enthusiast with a passion for building engines. Pete’s dedication to quality and performance quickly garnered a local following. What started as a hobby, building engines for friends and local racers, soon turned into a full-fledged business as word spread about Pete’s exceptional craftsmanship. Realizing the need for specialized tools and machinery, Pete expanded his operations, laying the foundation for what would become Speedmaster. |
Evolution into Speedmaster (1980s)Fueled by passion and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Pete’s Performance evolved into Speedmaster. As demand grew, so did the vision. What began as a small workshop expanded its operations to include selling, assembling, manufacturing, and racing high-performance engine parts. The name "Speedmaster" was born out of a desire to encapsulate the essence of speed, mastery, and innovation, embodying Pete's relentless drive to push the boundaries of automotive performance. | |
Global Expansion (1990s-2000s)With a relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation, Speedmaster began to make its mark on the global stage. The establishment of Speedmaster Engineering Sydney in 1990 was a pivotal moment, employing over 50 staff and operating more than 40 CNC machines. In 1995, we showcased our products at our first SEMA show in Las Vegas, marking our emergence as a global player in the automotive industry. As demand for our products continued to grow, we opened our first Speedmaster facility in China in 2006 to manufacture low-risk items, followed by a second facility for high-risk items with 5-axis CNC machines for complex products like engine blocks. These strategic locations allowed us to better serve our growing international customer base, ensuring that automotive enthusiasts and professionals around the world had access to our top-quality components. | |
Building a World-Class Team (2000s-Present)The journey from a one-man operation to a global powerhouse involved assembling a team of over 400 dedicated professionals. Each team member brings a unique set of skills and a shared passion for automotive excellence. In 2005, we opened our first US distribution center in Los Angeles. Continued growth led to acquiring additional distribution centers in Sydney and expanding our presence in Los Angeles. By 2011, we launched a larger, purpose-built US distribution center. This period saw significant milestones, including the launch of our eCommerce platform in 2003, the establishment of our Crate Motor Program in 2004, and numerous industry awards and patents. | |
Continued Innovation and Growth (2010s-Present)Our commitment to innovation has never wavered. In the 2010s, we continued to expand our facilities, opening new distribution centers and manufacturing plants to meet growing demand. In 2014, we launched our USA-Assembled Program, where all our cylinder heads, third members, transmissions, and complete engines are fully assembled in our state-of-the-art facility in LA. Additionally, we introduced the DNA product line, emphasizing our commitment to quality and innovation. We opened additional Speedmaster facilities in China for low and medium-risk items. In 2016, we launched a state-of-the-art distribution center in Sydney. Our dedication to research and development has resulted in numerous patented products and industry accolades, solidifying our reputation as a leader in the automotive aftermarket industry. We have also embraced eCommerce, becoming one of the top automotive brands in the Australian automotive e-commerce space and earning numerous awards for our innovative online retail strategies. |
