About Speedo In 1914, Speedo was founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a
22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the country in 1910. The company
began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914,
extended the manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting
Mills. A naming competition was held by the staff in 1928 and won by a Captain
Parsonson, who coined the slogan, “Speed on in your Speedos.” In 1929, the
first swimsuits were in production and it didnt take long for Speedo to
successfully establish itself. World War II caused the brand turn over 90% of
its manufacturing to war production, providing the armed services with vital
equipment such as mosquito nets. After the war, Speedo opened a new factory
and was able to re-establish itself, due to increased demand for swimsuits. In
1951, Speedo Knitting Mills (Holdings) Ltd, was incorporated and became a
publicly traded company on the Sydney Stock exchange. Speedo hit the
international stage in earnest, at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, and a few
years later the brand grew on a more global scale. Export sales to the USA
began and an international division was set up to monitor trade in New
Zealand, Japan and South Africa. The expansion of the brand continued, and in
1976, Speedo was appointed as the official swimwear for the 1976 Montreal
Olympics, where 52 out of 54 countries wore their swimsuits. Speedo continues
to make its mark in the pool and on the beach today. Many world class athletes
who wear Speedo include U.S. phenomenon Michael Phelps, legendary Australian
swimmer Grant Hackett, world record holder Kosuke Kitajima from Japan, and
Hollands Inge de Bruijn.What’s in the Box? Two neoprene Speedo Aqua Fit
