Airspeed History

Airspeed was founded in 1995 by Scott Clendenin (independent), Bud Meade (Mercury Aircraft) from the United States; and Mike Klincke (High Speed Production) from the United Kingdom. The partnership was created to provide a global manufacturing supply chain to major electronics OEMs such as IBM and HP. Clendenin’s background was in plastics manufacturing, while Meade and Klincke brought metal stamping and fabrication to the partnership. In 1996 a partnership was established in Asia under Besteam Technology to provide tooling to Airspeed facilities in USA and UK. All tools were produced in Taiwan and were interchangeable in order to provide backup among manufacturing sites.
