RANT!!! Fuggin chinees imported crap.

Yeah...I realize that now...or actually should say, for awhile now. Its a crap shoot trying to get decent parts these days
Hey guys , my 96 f150 was made in Canada from parts made in Mexico &china . Ironically enough my Honda vt1100c was made in Michigan near the ford plant . And my wife Toyota Tacoma was made in Tennessee . Most of my power tools with names like milwakee and porter cable and such are Chinese. Hope you realized that 20yrs ago ?

Speedmaster has great price so they jack the shippingg past jegs and summit ! Foget about it

Shop harder: Free standard delivery on orders over $150

Checkout their Ebay store too. Sometimes you can find better deals on their Ebay and vice versa.

Other times, not so much. It comes down to what it is you need, when, and what quality you're looking for.

And yes... I would likely spend an extra $35 for stuff that is not rapid-repro-chinree-garbage.


Oh, and 10% if you're military.

My dad worked for "chrysler" for 29 years. Yes i am fully aware of the changing of ownership and all the shifting of manufacturing between countries. I am from the old school, it was all about the big 3 back in the 80s and 90s for me. :rolleyes:
 
Speedmaster has only two facilities that I'm aware of are California and Australia.

They actually have three, one in Shanghai. They opened the first China location in 2006.

Its on there website and when I called customer service about where the distributors are made I was told overseas.

Go to speed masters website, hit read more on the first page , then scroll down to global expansion .
They opened not only one but two in China.
 
There is a Speedmaster facility in Shanghai, China, which is a manufacturing plant of Heidelberg, a leading provider of printing and packaging solutions. The facility, located on a 60,000 m2 production area, assembles and produces customer-specific machines, including the Speedmaster CD 102 series, which was first delivered to Hefei Jingyi Printing Ltd. in 2008 and has since produced 350 million printed sheets.


The versatile.​

Speedmaster CD 102.​

Universally applicable.​



The Speedmaster CD 102 is the universal straight-printing press for commercial, packaging and label printing. Equipped with innovative technology, it provides flexible processing of a large variety of jobs and materials with maximum flexibility. Its efficiency and cost effectiveness cannot fail to impress. Easy to use, with short makeready times and integration in the Prinect workflow, the Speedmaster CD 102 achieves constantly high print quality at speeds of up to 15,000 sheets an hour.

An attractive price/performance ratio is not the only advantage of the Speedmaster CD 102. Its strengths are obvious in the production of specialized packaging in up to seven colors, for example, and in UV and coating applications. Another plus: each Speedmaster CD 102 is backed up by the comprehensive service offering from Heidelberg. This enables you to get the most from your machine at all times thanks to maintenance, remote functions, perfectly coordinated consumables, and an international service and spare parts network.

Invest in performance and future-proof value. With over 50,000 printing units sold, the Speedmaster CD 102 is the world’s most popular range of machines in 70 × 100 format. Not only that – it also offers extensive added value thanks to its ultra modern equipment, maximum substrate flexibility and constant productivity.


They don't distribute parts from there.

Every single part I've ordered from them (intake manifold stud kit, carburetor stud kit, fuel pump block off plate) was in a package labeled "Made in China". :shrug:
