Scorpion Racing Products
Your high-performance manufacturing powerhouse for the best American-Made products.
While Scorpion Performance is a leading American manufacturer of top quality valvetrain parts for high performance street and racing applications, Scorpion Racing Products is the company that markets and distributes those products. Scorpion Racing Products has achieved a leading market position by focusing on the quality of its products, fast distribution and strong customer relationships. The company now sells rocker arms, lifters, pushrods, valves, valve springs, valvetrain stabilizers (stud girdles), fuel rail kits, lubricants and more.
Scorpion Performance evolved from an offshore powerboat race team and engine building company, Blue Thunder Engines, owned and operated by Robert and Teresa Stopanio. The Stopanios won numerous offshore powerboat racing championships using their own power plants.
Due to the Stopanio's success in building engines for the powerboat market, demand for their engines began to grow from circle track and drag racing teams as well. Asphalt circle track racers, dirt track racers and drag racers all came to Blue Thunder Engines because of the company's outstanding reputation for speed and durability. The Stopanios and their engine team had hundreds of years of combined experience, and it showed in every race-winning engine they built. The team was very technically inclined and tested new innovations constantly. With over 35 years of racing experience, the Stopanio's team and engines are responsible for over 30 national championships in various racing series. Not surprisingly, most of that team is still working at Scorpion today.
After a very successful career in racing and engine building, Rob and Teresa Stopanio decided to go into manufacturing some of the parts that go into high performance racing engines. Because they had first-hand racing experience, they knew what endurance and tolerance levels engine parts needed to have in order to last and to win. Thus, Scorpion Performance was born in 1999 and rocker arms were the first parts produced. Today, Scorpion Performance is the world's largest volume manufacturer of aluminum roller rocker arms.
Scorpion is successful in part because it manufactures products using the most technologically advanced tools and machines in the world. By utilizing the most sophisticated technology, Scorpion is able to maintain its leadership role in producing the absolute finest precision parts. This technology also enables the company to achieve superior quality at economies of scale that allows Scorpion to make its prices ultra-competitive.
Scorpion has proven that its fully automated, robotically controlled tooling, combined with its round-the-clock production capacity, effectively offsets the low wage advantage the Far East relies on and beats countries such as China at their own game. This productivity is a major marketing point for Scorpion, and of course, faster manufacturing means faster distribution to customers. But the icing on the cake is the priceless advantage of being able to stamp MADE IN USA on these products!
Scorpion is also successful because it performs intense research and testing on every product it manufactures. An in-house engine building department, a dynometer, and real world use in numerous Scorpion-sponsored race vehicles including drag race cars, circle track race cars and offshore race boats enable the company to test its products for quality and durability under the most intense conditions. Every product Scorpion makes is dyno tested and race proven before it is ever offered for sale to the public. The result of this is top quality race winning parts and very satisfied customers.
Simply put, Scorpion beats the competition by offering its customers superior quality that meets and beats Far East pricing and delivery schedules. Plus, while most U.S. competitors are locked into old machinery and traditional manufacturing techniques, Scorpion is committed to updating and replacing its sophisticated tooling at least every three years. The company's manufacturing processes and procedures are also continually updated to achieve greater efficiency and higher quality.
As evidenced by its ISO 9001:2008 certification, continuous improvement in quality is a priority at Scorpion. ISO 9001:2008 standards are recognized globally and are used by manufacturing and service organizations to create a standardized quality management system that is constantly monitored to ensure it conforms to the principles of continual quality improvement and customer satisfaction. At Scorpion, the quality management system is applied to design, development, manufacturing, assembly, testing and operational support of precision components for a wide range of high performance automotive and marine engine applications.
The economic implications of Scorpion's ability to say Made in America
The staggering trade imbalance the U.S. has worked its way into has reached precarious levels, most noteworthy in the disastrous devaluation of the dollar vs. most major world currencies. Much of this is the result of U.S. companies and marketers rushing to low-wage manufacturers, primarily in the Far East.
The U.S. Auto industry is the No. 1 contributor to America's trade imbalance despite the influx of foreign car manufacturers to set up assembly plants in this country. Computers are the No. 2 source of the nation's reliance on offshore companies and workers.
And No. 3 is Motor Vehicle Parts.
Recently, 32% of all motor vehicle parts were purchased overseas, representing $71 billion of America's trade deficit and those numbers have continued to rise. However, Scorpion Performance has found that robotically controlled automation, top quality materials and highly experienced employees are the secret to offsetting the low-wage advantage of the East. As a result, Scorpion is manufacturing more and more orders that otherwise would have gone overseas, and more and more Americans are being hired to run the machinery to do it.
Through strategic marketing, fast distribution and excellent customer service from Scorpion Racing Products, in combination with technologically advanced manufacturing at Scorpion Performance, the company looks forward to continued growth and is proud to declare, Made by Americans in the USA!
