NGK began its operations in Germany in October 1979 with a small sales office in Düsseldorf", says Norbert Neuhaus, Deputy Managing Director, Sales & Marketing, Aftermarket. "The growth which we have achieved since that time has been dramatic and today we are a major player in the European spark plug market.   

In these past 26 years NGK has invested heavily in Research & Development, in particular with the opening in 1990 of our European Technical Centre in Ratingen which is widely used by European car manufacturers as a test facility for their engines.

Today NGK is known for innovation, product quality and high technical performance.  As well as our highly successful spark plug range, we are now also gaining a strong reputation for the quality of our glow plugs and Lambda sensors.

All of us at NGK would like to thank our partners in the European trade and the independent garages for their loyalty and support in helping to make NGK one of the most widely sold brands in Germany.
