Standard Motor Products, Inc.

A maker of replacement auto parts, Standard Motor Products supplies ignition coils, fuel pumps, sensors, and temperature-control parts that keep cars running, sold under brands like Blue Streak to repair shops and distributors. It was founded in New York in 1919 by Elias Fife and Ralph Van Allen, and its leadership still includes a fourth generation of the founding family. A century-old company, it grew up right alongside the automobile industry it serves.
