The origins of Auburn date back to 1910, when two small companies.
"The Auburn Igniters Company" and "The New York Mica and
Manufacturing Co." began manufacturing spark plugs using mica as an
insulating material. These companies merged to form the Auburn Spark Plug Company, which
produced spark plugs for automotive and industrial applications for the
next eight decades.
After the Second World War, Auburn expanded its product line, and
developed its technology for the emerging markets of the next half of the
century. Auburn supplied an igniter for the X-15 manned rocket, insuring
engine ignition at high altitudes. Auburn's industrial market grew with
the addition of electrical feed-throughs, liquid level control electrodes,
flame rods and observation ports.
During the 1970s, Auburn manufactured turbine igniters for AC Spark
Plug Company, a division of general Motors. These igniters were designed
for the aviation industry, and are used throughout the world by major
airlines. In 1981, Auburn acquired the rights to design, manufacture and
market AC's entire line of aviation igniters and spark plugs.
In 1977, the auburn Spark Plug Company became a wholly owned subsidiary
of SL. industries, located in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. Until 1998, the
company's name has been SL Auburn, Inc.
Auburn was acquired by Champion in May of 1997. At the time, Champion
was owned by Cooper Automotive which was owned by Cooper Industries. In
October 1998 Cooper Industries sold the Automotive division to Federal
Mogul. Today Auburn products are continued by Champion and all it's
products are manufactured in the Champion production plants in the US and
Mexico.
