It’s May 3rd and Speedmaster gets its 5th SFI Approval (1.1) renewed for another consecutive year.

Speedmaster’s long-standing commitment to quality is key to the success of Speedmaster and its Vision. Being trusted and respected for its people and its products globally.

“There is a number of steps required to go from an idea to the final product, 39 Steps to be exact.

Every business has its challenges when it’s growing and Speedmaster is no different. 

Step one is to design an item people might want to buy, then “anticipate” that you might one day sell more than you’re able to manufacture.” Said Ron Smelt Head of Product Development at Speedmaster.

The biggest fork in the road is when you actually DO, It is at this point which companies and brands get differentiated.

“I think back to the days in which I couldn’t understand why companies like Edelbrock and Holley just couldn’t keep up with demand. Now being in a situation where you sell more than you deliver at a consistent standard, it's not so easy after all” - Speedmaster's CEO Jason Kencevski.

During Covid 19, Aftermarket Automotive has seen a massive increase in DIY car enthusiasts along with an increased demand for Speedmaster products. 

It is a constant balance of ensuring the highest quality products, QC checks, and speed to market. Pairing this with a growing workforce and consistent system efficiencies whilst delivering what our customers want.

One thing is for sure, the DNA of what makes a Speedmaster part has never changed. We are now ready to ship another 9 million parts and the team is already working on the next record-breaking design. More on this next time.
