80 YEARS OF USA-MADE PERFORMANCE & PASSION / WISECO PISTON

Wiseco was born 80 years ago from a passion for the performance and racing lifestyle. Read the story on how Wiseco evolved from garage-made pistons to an industry leader in aftermarket performance. In 1940, when Clyde Wiseman first manufactured his own big-bore marine engine pistons, in his garage located on the East side of Cleveland, Ohio, it was with a purpose: to fill a void in the marketplace by building the performance pistons he needed (yet was unable to find) to win races. Word quickly spread about Wiseman's high-quality pistons, and by 1941 — with origins rooted in racing — he formed Wiseco Piston to serve the needs of fellow motorsports enthusiasts who needed performance pistons for outboard marine racing.

Clyde Wiseman founded Wiseco from a passion stemming from outboard marine racing and a need for quality pistons he couldn't find at the time.

Like any new business, times were tough in the beginning. Yet, Wiseco persevered, and today the company is one of the leading manufacturers of high-performance motorsports performance parts in the world, with 2021 the 80th anniversary of the company and its team of high-performance employees.
