Wiseco

Wiseco was born 80 years ago from a passion for the performance and racing lifestyle.

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.

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.
