SBT

Greg Pickren founded SBT, Inc. in 1997 and built the company to become the largest supplier of aftermarket jet ski (PWC) parts in the world. Mr. Pickren, at the time a seasoned industry professional in the automotive parts business, was intrigued by the fact that there were no suppliers of remanufactured engines for PWCs. After studying the intricacies of the PWC market, SBT was launched. Although Mr. Pickren was not a PWC expert at the time, the concept would mimic what had been done for decades in the automotive business - high quality remanufactured engines for a fraction of the price of new engines. With little fanfare, a factory was built and the groundwork was laid for what would become the largest PWC aftermarket parts company in the world.

In it's first year of operation, SBT remanufactured over 2,000 engines. Over the next four years, the company quickly grew to over 10,000 engines per year. In 2005, the company transitioned from an engine only company to a full line supplier of parts. Today, SBT is to the PWC market what NAPA and AutoZone are to the automotive market. SBT boasts a product offering of over 15,000 parts for Sea Doo, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Polaris, Tigershark and Honda watercraft. SBT has dealers and customers worldwide with orders coming in every year from over 177 countries out of the 196 on the globe.

The company's 70,000 square foot factory and headquarters are located in Clearwater, FL. Mr. Pickren still owns SBT and is involved in managing the direction of the company.
