ACDelco automotive parts

ACDelco is a premier American automotive parts brand with a history spanning over a century. It serves as the official original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for General Motors (GM) vehicle brands including Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac, while also producing a vast catalog of aftermarket components for non-GM vehicles. The brand's expertise covers more than 30 product lines, including batteries, filters, spark plugs, and braking systems.

Originally founded in 1916 by William C. Durant as the United Motors Corporation, the brand evolved through several historic mergers and name changes. The modern 'ACDelco' name was formed in 1974 by combining the identities of AC Spark Plug (founded by Albert Champion) and Delco (Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company, founded by Charles Kettering). Today, it remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors.

While headquartered in Michigan, ACDelco's manufacturing is a global operation. Products are produced in multiple countries to meet international demand, including the United States, Mexico, China, South Korea, and Canada. This global supply chain allows the brand to maintain its position as one of the world's largest providers of automotive parts while adhering to the rigorous quality and safety standards set by General Motors.
