This year marks 50 years since Niterra UK Ltd’s world renowned brands – starting with NGK Ignition Parts and followed by NTK Vehicle Electronics - first landed in the UK.

OE-Quality



From a small warehouse in 1975 to becoming a trusted supplier to thousands of motor factors and workshops across the country, Niterra’s journey is one of relentless innovation, original equipment heritage and unwavering support to the trade.

It all started with spark plugs, with early landmarks including OE contracts with Lotus, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Jaguar. That dedication to quality and precision soon made NGK the UK’s No.1 spark plug brand - a position it still holds today.

Range Expansion



As the industry evolved, the NGK range grew to include glow plugs, ignition coils and leads, while NTK introduced a full suite of engine management components – from Lambda, MAF and MAP sensors to EGR valves, EGT sensors and the latest Exhaust Pressure Sensor range.

Backing the Garage



Every innovation has had one goal: to help garages fit the latest technology and deliver exceptional customer service. The exceptional application-specific coverage NGK was able to offer made its mark on the garage’s service offering even in the early days. The company continues to develop its UK parc coverage with new-to-range launches, including 33 new products encapsulating 1000s of vehicles in 2025 so far.

50 Years Strong



With millions of NGK and NTK parts keeping Britain’s vehicles moving, Niterra UK is truly thankful for the support of the technicians, workshops and factors that have been part of the journey so far - and is already looking ahead to the next 50 years with our partners and customers.
