Speco specializes in the application, maintenance and supplying of "cutting edges" for the meat and food industries.

Young Carl Wilhiem Dieckmann came to the U.S.A. from Ploen, Germany. He was trained as a butcher and sausage maker.  In the early 1920’s the shaving industry was evolving from the old straight edge razor to the new disposable safety razor blade. This gave Mr. Dieckmann the idea for a removable blade (insert) in a meat grinder knife. The design proved so superior to the old solid knife designs that he received a patent on it in 1924. This was truly the start of the Specialty Manufacturer Sales Company. It was also the start of many innovative cutting tool designs used in the food industry.
