Champion® is an American brand founded in 1907, which over more than a century has become one of the world's leaders in the production of spark plugs for all types of combustion engines. Its history is closely tied to the great milestones of motoring: from the Ford Model T in 1908, to the ignition systems of Concorde in 1969, through to Formula 1 victories with Fernando Alonso in 2005 and 2006. Over the years the brand expanded its range to include glow plugs, coils, cables, filters, brake pads and discs, serving both the OE market of major car manufacturers and the aftermarket replacement parts sector. Today Champion® is part of the DRiV Automotive Inc. group and continues to supply high-quality components for light vehicles, motorcycles, racing and non-automotive applications worldwide.
