Lucas was established in 1872, the same year that the petrol engine was first patented. The first Mercedes 'horseless carriage' was still 14 years away and the Ford Model T wouldn't appear for a further 27 years. The business that Joseph Lucas founded in Birmingham, still the global HQ of Lucas today, represents the consistency and durability of Lucas products and has made Lucas one of the most successful automotive brands in history.

The story is brought right up-to-date by the product activities of our many successful licensees, Elta Lighting Ltd hold the licence for the UK and also distribute across Europe and the rest of the world.

Lucas has been trading continuously for over 125 years and is world famous as a supplier of premium quality, technically excellent automotive products for both vehicle manufacturers and the aftermarket.

Today Lucas continues to grow in these channels while dynamically expanding into new markets with new products. Lucas is a thriving global brand with a strategic network of Lucas businesses, head licensees and distributors together contributing to worldwide sales of over $100 million.
