Founded at the dawn of the automotive industry by Robert Wells, Wells Manufacturing was a pioneer in the development and assembly of premium-quality electrical parts for vehicle manufacturers and many of their largest component suppliers.

The company’s reputation for manufacturing precision and exceptional product quality and performance led the U.S. Army to select Wells as supplier of the revolutionary Norden bombsight, which played a crucial role in Allied success during World War II.

Following the war, Wells expanded its original equipment engineering and manufacturing operations and, in 1956, introduced the Wells brand to the thriving automotive replacement parts market. Over the next half-century, Wells products became a leading choice of professional technicians and do-it-yourselfers in the automotive, motorcycle, marine, power-sport, commercial vehicle, and lawn & garden markets.

Wells today is more than a premier global manufacturer of vehicle electronics; it is also one of the most respected brands in the motor vehicle aftermarket, with tens of thousands of precision-engineered components available through an extensive network of replacement parts distributors and retail locations.
