McGard Partnership

With the work and support of First Brands, within 5 years McGard have risen from a high cost, unknown brand in the UK to being the brand leader in locking wheel nuts. McGard have won the Auto Express 'Best Buy' award 4 times in succession, 'Accessory of the Year' award and 'Product Honours 2008'. In addition, the products have been featured in the motoring section of the Sunday Times 'In-gear' editorial and have also recieved their recommendation in the papers 'Car Clinic' section.

McGard currently supply OEM product directly to the production line of several major UK motor manufacturers including Ford and (BMW) Mini and through our work they also supply prestigious marques including Aston Martin and Jaguar. In the retro-fit aftermarket, McGard is now the brand leader supplying exclusively the largest UK automotive retail chain, Halfords. In further specialist markets we also supply marine applications for securing outboard motors and propellers.

In conclusion, we believe that the success that we have achieved to date is a combination of our hard work and a professional partner in McGard who is flexible and open to our ideas and suggestions, and respects our local experience and knowledge. As a result of this teamwork we have both achieved the original goal of a brand leading position for this product in the UK.
