Press Release – Sterndrive Engineering, Inc.
December 18, 2003
Sterndrive Engineering stated its mission today to reshape the sterndrive industry by making owning, operating, and maintaining a sterndrive more affordable.
Sterndrive Engineering is wholly owned by Greg Pickren of Clearwater, Florida. Mr. Pickren owns several companies including SBT which is the largest supplier of remanufactured PWC engines and aftermarket parts in the world (see SBTontheWeb.com). “The full resources of SBT were utilized in engineering, designing, and testing Sterndrive Engineering’s new replacement drives” stated Mr. Pickren. “We know this product works because we have been testing it for over a year at our lake.”
Justin Webb, formerly of Konrad, was instrumental in creating the company. Mr. Webb’s experience includes assembling drives for GLM and over 10 years of experience in the Sterndrive Industry. “This is a product that the market has demanded for a number of years” says Webb. “Our ability to offer an extremely economical drive to the installer, whether a dealer or a DIY’er, is the result of the elimination of several layers of distribution. Historically, marine parts have been handled sequentially by trading companies, manufacturer reps, private labelers, and distributors resulting in multiple mark-ups and high end-user prices. Sterndrive Engineering has eliminated all of that waste, much in the same way that Walmart did.”
