Stanadyne Team – SEMA
In the world of sales, there is a tradition of “Ringing the Bell” for every new business award. Over the past year, the global sales team has had many opportunities to “Ring the Bell” and grow the sales for Stanadyne globally. Our company is on a significant growth trajectory, and we are working hard to identify and share these opportunities with the global team.
With strong teamwork from the global engineering team providing new products for the market, we have been able to quote over $400 million in new business and have captured over $147 million lifetime new business sales (nearly $30 million in annual sales) thru the end of November. These new awards are balanced globally, and have been driven by the strong global team, including Chris Dye (Sales Manager High Performance, A/M Specialty), Dan Reading (N.A. Sales Manager OE/OES), Pete Malo (Global Aftermarket Sales Manager), Dongchun Sun (Sales Director SCC), and Rajesh Kumar (SIPL Managing Director).
The Stanadyne team participated in the 2025 SEMA Aftermarket Trade Show in November, and most recently at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show, presenting our new gas and diesel performance products to the public. The feedback from the racing / aftermarket industry has been positive. Race industry “Tuners” ( Katech, Lingenfelter, Dorsch), Aftermarket Giants (Edelbrock, Holley, Direct Connection, Roush, Delphi), and OE Performance Divisions (GM Racing, Ford Performance, MOPAR / Stellantis) have all approached our Sales & Engineering team requesting technical reviews and quotations on our new performance gas, diesel, and alternative fuel solutions.
The Sales Team is excited to share these new growth opportunities, and we will continue to “Ring the Bell” as the new customer orders come to fruition.
Thank you to the entire Stanadyne team for the support and focus on the goals, as we all contribute to the Company’s success.
– Ed Flanagan, Global VP Sales and Program Management

👟 Safety First – Grainger Shoe Truck Event
On October 23, 2025, the Grainger Shoe Truck visited our facility, giving employees the opportunity to use their safety shoe allotments conveniently on-site. With over 100 orders placed, participation was outstanding. Proper footwear is critical in a manufacturing environment—it helps prevent slips, trips, and foot injuries while providing the support needed for long hours on the production floor. This event reinforced our ongoing commitment to safety and ensuring our team has the right equipment to work comfortably and confidently.

We closed out the year with a memorable Holiday Party, celebrating our employees and their families in style with a Sneaker Ball. The evening was dedicated to recognizing the hard work, dedication, and teamwork demonstrated throughout the year, blending elegance with comfort as employees dressed up and paired their outfits with sneakers. It was a fun, energetic way to come together, reflect on a successful year, and celebrate the people who make PPT such a great place to work.
