NGK Spark Plugs has become an approved solus supplier to UAN of spark and glow plugs.

The agreement is the first of its kind in UAN’s seven year history.

UAN managing director, Andrew Dickinson, said: "The response from members to the NGK solus agreement has been incredible. It has also demonstrated the strength of a united group pulling in the same direction and, as a result, benefiting significantly."

A new supply agreement summary will be produced for NGK and will be sent to members, via registered post.

NGK is supplying spark plugs and Lambda sensors for Aston Martin’s new flagship high-performance sports car, the One-77.
