About the Event :
Wells Vehicle Electronics is manufacturer of engine & vehicle management components such as electronic ignition modules, ignition coils, voltage regulators, camshaft sensors, crankshaft sensors, throttle position sensors, and a variety of custom electronic components. We are divided into two business units – an aftermarket unit that supplies components to aftermarket parts retailers and distributors. In addition, Wells designs and manufactures OE components for non-automotive OEM vehicle and engine manufacturers.
Wells has been in business since 1903. One of our first customers was Henry Ford for who we developed and built a magneto ignition coil. In 2015 we were purchased by and became a wholly owned subsidiary of NGK Sparkplugs based in Nagoya Japan. NGK is a worldwide leader in sparkplugs, oxygen sensors, and technical ceramics. On the tour you will see and hear about the design and manufacturing of electronic modules for vehicles including sensors and voltage regulators.
