On April 19, 1919, Standard Motor Products opened its doors, selling automotive replacement parts to repair shops. Back then, the company's strategic philosophy was to offer parts, initially piston rings, ignition parts, and starter and generator brushes, that were equal to or exceeded OE quality. Today, those same convictions hold true.
							Standard continues to boldly set new goals with the latest technological developments, building upon a world-class reputation for the highest quality, reliability and service. The company's full line of engine management and temperature control products are designed, tested and manufactured by a team who believes that being world-class is a state-of-mind and action.
		Standards commitment to engineering, quality manufacturing and customer service has made it an automotive aftermarket leader. Our headquarters are located in Long Island City, NY. Standard is one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world, with more than 20 factories and distribution centers throughout the US, Puerto Rico, Canada, Europe and the Far East.
