The S&W Performance Group is proud to announce they have reached the 60 Year milestone. The company was founded in 1959, by Walter Weney, in a modest two car garage. During the past 60 years, S&W’s race cars, race parts, rod parts and precision specialties di- visions have out grown three build- ings and currently operate out of their 27,000 sq.ft. custom built fa- cility. Throughout their expansion, the global company has remained located in the same town it was es- tablished, Spring City, Pennsylvania. “The Weney family is grate- ful and humbled. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears from family members and our dedicated group of employees, to reach the 60 year milestone. Our past and continued success in commercial manufac- turing and the performance racing industry would not be possible with- out the support of loyal customers, vendors, track owners, promoters and sanctioning bodies.” stated S&W’s President, Michael Weney.
