The EGR Story.
Founded by edward,
Greg & Rod Horwill
Working out of the garage of their family home in Melbourne, Australia. Greg and Rod purchased rejected sheets from Ted, who was working at acrylic manufacturer Nylex and began producing acrylic coffee tables, which they sold to interior design shops around Melbourne. In 1973, Greg relocated to Brisbane and borrowed $2,000 from the Commercial Bank of Australia. It was in that year that EGR was formally registered, using the initials of the brothers Greg and Rod and their father Edward. 10 years later in 1983, the brothers saw a need for drivers to be able to protect their quartz halogen headlights from breaking. To service this need EGR Automotive was born. beginning with the production of acrylic headlight covers for the iconic XD Ford Falcon.
Today, EGR is still a family-owned and run business and has become a world-leading manufacturer of the highest quality automotive accessories that has supplied some of the world's largest OEMs for over 50 years.
The company's headquarters are located in Brisbane, Australia with offices and manufacturing sites across twelve separate global locations. Servicing over 180 markets and employing over 1,000 people, EGR is truly a global company.
