Slimline in channel window visors - EGR
About:
Working first out of a garage from their family home, brothers Greg and Rod Horwill purchased acrylic from Nylex and experimented with developing innovatively styled acrylic coffee tables. In 1973, Greg moved to Brisbane and borrowed funds to officially start EGR with a vision of expanding their interior products business and entering the automotive accessories market with a product that would protect quartz halogen headlights that were breaking easily. EGR, which represents the first name initials of their father Edward, and the two brothers Greg and Rod, was formed and production began soon thereafter on acrylic headlight covers for the iconic XD Ford Falcon. Today, EGR employs over 1,000 people, services 180 markets, and supplies some of the world’s largest OEMs and the automotive aftermarket with precision-engineered, premium accessories including the award-winning EGR RollTrac™ bed cover. With manufacturing plants and warehouses in North America, Europe, Thailand, China, and Australia, EGR is truly a global company with a vision for success. Innovation and engineering excellence are at the core of EGR's history and continue to drive the company forward. In fact, over 20% of EGR's global workforce is working on developing new and innovative products to create the best experience possible for all vehicle drivers. EGR's team utilises the best practice technology to help design and produce the most innovative products on the market. This has been proven as the world's largest OEMs have trusted EGR to develop and produce products for their new state-of-the-art vehicles. At EGR we never stand still and the entrepreneurial spirit of our founders runs through the whole company as we are always looking at what's next. For over 40 years the world's largest OEMs (motor companies) have used EGR to create genuine products for their vehicles. With our extensive global footprint (12 sites servicing 180 markets) EGR has been able to develop a reputation amongst OEMs as a high-quality accessories provider - so much so they brand our products as their own.
