90 Years of BRISK
1. 9. 202590 Years of BRISK: A Tradition That Ignites Engines Around the World
This year, BRISK spark plugs are celebrating a significant milestone – 90 years since their founding. The story of a brand inseparably linked with the South Bohemian town of Tábor is a story of technological development, honest craftsmanship and a constant drive to push the boundaries of what is possible. From a small-scale production, a brand gradually emerged whose products are now used in engines all over the world.
The history of the “spark plugs from Tábor” dates back to the first half of the 20th century, when the foundations of spark plug manufacturing were formed during a period of rapid growth in automobilism and motorization. Even then, emphasis was placed on quality, reliability and technical precision – values that remain closely associated with BRISK to this day and form the solid basis of its long-term success.
Over the course of nine decades, the company has undergone dynamic development. It has responded to changes in the automotive industry, the arrival of new technologies and ever-increasing demands for performance and environmental responsibility. Thanks to its own development and manufacturing, it has been able to introduce innovative solutions that have advanced ignition technology further – from series-production engines to the most highly stressed racing power units.
Motorsport also represents a significant chapter in BRISK’s history. Spark plugs from Tábor have proven themselves over the long term in the extreme conditions of racing circuits, where there is no room for compromise. Cooperation with top teams and manufacturers, including participation in the most prestigious racing series, serves not only as proof of quality but also as a valuable source of experience for the further development of series products.
However, BRISK is not just about technology – it is also about people. About generations of developers, engineers and employees who put their knowledge, experience and personal responsibility into their work. It is precisely this combination of tradition, a human approach and modern technologies that enables the brand to maintain a high manufacturing standard directly in the Czech Republic.
Today, BRISK represents a modern brand with a global reach, supplying spark plugs for passenger cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles and special engines. Nevertheless, it retains a strong connection to Tábor – the place where it all began and from where technical confidence continues to spread around the world.
The 90th anniversary is not only a celebration of a rich history, but also a look toward the future. BRISK enters the next decade with a clear vision: to continue developing top-tier ignition solutions, respond to new trends in motorization, and remain a symbol of quality that can be relied upon – just as it has been for 90 years.
