Our company is unique in that it is owner Wayne Brooks’ second venture into the piston manufacturing industry. Wayne has always modified engines and been an avid racer -- having raced everything from boats, to motorcycles, and even airplanes.After owning a successful aerospace manufacturing company for years, he could now take the time to go racing more. At this time, he was very competitive in Grand National boat racing and began to have issues with the pistons he was using. After trying every piston on the market and having a few ideas of his own he still could not find a manufacturer that he thought could meet his needs. It was at that point that he made the decision to purchase JE Pistons, and was very successful at making it the best piston manufacturer in the United States. JE had a great impact on the industry and had grown rapidly to the point to where it was too big for his liking, so after 20+ years as the owner he decided to sell JE.
