Holley Inc

Founded in 1903, Holley, Inc. has been a part of the automotive industry for well over a century. We design, manufacture, and distribute high-performance automotive aftermarket products to car and truck enthusiasts primarily in the United States, Canada and Europe. Our products span a number of automotive platforms and are sold across multiple channels. We are a leading manufacturer of a diversified line of performance automotive products, including carburetors, fuel pumps, fuel injection systems, nitrous oxide injection systems, superchargers, exhaust headers, mufflers, distributors, ignition components, engine tuners and automotive performance plumbing products. We are also a leading manufacturer of exhaust products as well as shifters, converters, transmission kits, transmissions, tuners and automotive software. Our products are designed to enhance street, off-road, recreational and competitive vehicle performance through increased horsepower, torque and drivability. We have locations in the United States, Canada, Italy and China.

We attribute a major component of our success to our brands, including Holley, Holley EFI, MSD, Simpson, Flowmaster, EDGE, Cataclean, and Accel, among others. Through these strategic acquisitions, we have increased our market position in the otherwise highly fragmented performance automotive aftermarket industry.

We operate in the performance automotive aftermarket parts industry. We believe there is ample opportunity to continue our expansion into new products and markets, such as exterior accessories and mobile electronics, representing a natural progression for us to grow market share as these adjacencies are driven by passionate enthusiasts, consistent with our core categories.
