FAST Global Solutions

DELIVERING ACCELERATED SOLUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD SINCE 1979

For over 40 years, FAST Global Solutions has been helping improve operational performance in the air transportation and material handling industries, with smartly designed and ruggedly built equipment. Founded in 1979 as Watkins Aircraft Support Products (WASP), the company’s focus on unparalleled quality and critical safety engineering of non-powered ground support equipment, resulted in exponential growth—doubling in capacity every year for the first decade.

Production momentum for the company continued over the years, with the addition of package conveyor and military trailer design and manufacturing. In 2015, WASP combined with FAST Manufacturing—a producer of high-quality agricultural sprayers and liquid fertilizer equipment—and rebranded become FAST Global Solutions. In 2020, the ag division was sold to resume focus on the air and ground solutions the company offers.

FAST Global Solutions touches nearly every part of the globe from our Midwest facilities, where high-tech equipment fills the manufacturing floor and engineers design solutions for our customers. Large-scale robotic welders, automated paint processes, plasma laser cutters and large-scale press brakes help employee-owners successfully meet customers’ needs.

Today, FAST Global Solutions is comprised of two product divisions:

WASP™ GSE – The world’s largest manufacturer of non-powered ground support equipment for the airline and air cargo industry.

WASP™ Conveyors – A leading manufacturer of parcel conveyor equipment for the material handling industry.
