The North West England-based Northern
Automotive Alliance (NAA) is committed
to showcasing the success of regional
automotive industries, and the NAA Awards
are a prominent event in the organisation’s
calendar. This year Klarius Products based
in Cheadle, Staffordshire has won the 2018
International Trade Award, sponsored by
Morson Group.
The NAA Awards Judging Panel recognised
Klarius Products’ impressive growth in the
international export of its products during
the ceremony, held on 8th November 2018 in
Cheshire.
Klarius Products is now one of Europe’s largest
manufacturers of type approved replacement
emission control components. Its sales are
growing via distributors across the Continent,
thanks to a market leading new product
development strategy, yielding Europe’s
fastest growing range of exhausts, catalytic
converters and diesel particulate filters.
A key element of this successful strategy is
the company’s ability to drive and deliver
forward-thinking engineering, manufacturing
and supply chain solutions to efficiently
meet the needs of its partners, reducing lead

time and waste throughout, to the point
of delivery to the repair workshop and the
benefit of European motorist.
Chris Shilton, Commercial Director for Klarius
Products, commented: “It was a privilege to
collect the NAA International Trade Award
on behalf of the company. Our top priority
at Klarius Products is delivering high-quality
emission control components, such as type-
approved exhausts, catalytic converters and
diesel particulate filters, for a sustainable
automotive aftermarket. This prize attests
to the commitment of all the personnel at
Klarius Products from product development,
manufacturing and testing, to logistics and
management.”
“It was impressive to see the diverse range
of companies in the Northern region that are
offering world-class products and services,”
said Rowan Egan, Chief Executive at the NAA.
“It’s also good to see that low emissions and
sustainability are taking a greater priority in
our Northern industry.”
Wes Jacklin, Chairman of Directors and
Advisory Board at the NAA, concluded: “The
NAA has been very effective in supporting
automotive supply chain companies, and
our Awards Dinner is an ideal platform to
showcase the achievement of the region’s
businesses. As we enter a period where
collaboration will be more essential than
ever, the NAA has an increasingly important
role to play in bringing together different
organisations from a range of sectors to
develop solutions for tomorrow’s mobility
challenges.”
