About NGK Spark Plugs

When it comes to spark plugs, NGK is the world leader. Makers of spark plugs for virtually every automotive, motorcycle, marine and small engine application, NGK's dominance is unmatched.

NGK Spark Plugs (USA), Inc., headquartered in Irvine, California, was established in 1966 as a subsidiary of NGK Spark Plugs, Ltd., of Japan.

Starting with a single product in 1921, NGK's extraordinary growth can be attributed to a philosophy of manufacturing the product where it is going to be used. For example, sixty percent of NGK Spark Plugs sold in the United States are made right here in America. One of the benefits of this approach is the ability to work more closely with auto manufacturers in developing products tailored specifically to their needs. The most tangible manifestations of the success of this philosophy have been the construction of fourteen factories in eight nations throughout the world, and in NGK Spark Plugs being specified as original equipment by over eighty-seven percent of the world's auto manufacturers.
