Autolite

In the early 1900s, two companies teamed up in 1911 to illuminate streets with carriage lamps. By the 1930s, Autolite® had become a major player in car parts as automobiles evolved. In 1935, Royce G. Martin of Electric Autolite Company envisioned a spark plug that not only ignited engines but also sparked imaginations. Teaming up with ceramic engineering expert Robert Twells, Autolite® embarked on creating this innovation. Their hard work resulted in the first Autolite® spark plug, propelling the company to prominence with major automakers like Ford, Chrysler, Studebaker, Packard, and Willys. Autolite's journey from humble beginnings to industry success exemplifies the impact of innovation and dedication. Autolite’s commitment to innovation and delivering high-quality products has been a constant for nearly a century, and will continue to be for decades to come.
