Cullen Speakman
About The Owner

Cullen Speakman

Cullen graduated from Penn State University in 1988 and worked for Air Products, Stone & Webster Engineering (TVA Nuclear Power Plant), Morgan Trucks, Polymer Plastics, Hershey Foods, and Yuasa-Exide from 1988 to 1993.

During that time, I held positions as Draftsman, Designer, Researcher, and Head of CAD Management. I gathered knowledge in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Seismic, Structural, and Nuclear Engineering disciplines.

After a 6-month temporary assignment at The Hershey Company, I left to become the Lead Recreational Battery Designer at Yuasa-Exide but was asked by The Hershey Company to start my own business in 1993, Speakman Sourcing & Machine Design, to advance their internal Reverse Engineering initiatives and have continued to do so till this day.

Since 1993, I have also helped over 200 corporations, manufacturing plants, and individuals with their Reverse Engineering, Design, and Part Procurement needs. I am also an Adjunct Professor with certifications to teach SolidWorks and Mechanical Design at the college level.
(over 35 years of Engineering experience).

Unfortunately, I cannot relay some of the most interesting projects, designs, or experiences due to confidentiality agreements to protect sensitive information, but I will do my best to relay common information and hopefully gain your confidence and exceed your expectations.

“Your work with and selection of possible suppliers was excellent as was the drawing package your firm prepared. The professional quality and clarity of the details in the drawings was sufficient to answer all the questions normally heard from equipment builders”

Vice President, Yuasa
