The name Waterman is no stranger to the winner’s circle in ultra high performance categories, and Sid Waterman has probably forgotten more about mechanical fuel pumps than most the industry knows. Aeromotive Fuel Systems has become a leader in both electric and mechanical pumps over the 20 years they’ve been in business, and for the two of them to partner together to create the finest fuel system components possible should have everyone else just a little nervous. In April, Sid will celebrate 50 years of Waterman Racing Components, and what finer way to build upon the brand than a partnership like this one.
“I am very pleased with our partnership with Aeromotive, since we are the two powerhouses in the serious fuel systems market. I have been watching them since they arrived on the scene 20 years ago, and have always been impressed with their owners, their products, and their aggressive marketing tactics. I knew that if I partnered with them, they have the marketing expertise to take Waterman Racing Components to the next level. I can offer them insight into my fuel pump designs they can incorporate into their own to create a whole new product line.”
“The two companies will not be merged, but continue to be run autonomously.” stated Steve Matusek, President of Aeromotive. “The reason this was such a make-sense decision is that there is very little overlap in the markets we serve – even in the way we go to market.”We are able to access and incorporate their impressive design experience and R&D, plus it increases Aeromotive’s company locations to three by adding to our Lenexa, KS plant Charlotte, NC and Indianapolis, IN. In this case 1+1=3”
More details on how this partnership will improve, create, and deliver existing and new product lines will become apparent moving forward, but we are excited for both Waterman Racing Components and Aeromotive Fuel Systems as this move positions them as THE leaders in “serious fuel systems”.
