Nissens Automotive is a leading European manufacturer specializing in thermal components and engine performance parts for the independent automotive aftermarket. Founded in 1921 in Horsens, Denmark, as a small radiator repair workshop, the company has grown into a global player with over 1,300 employees. Nissens is now recognized for the quality of its products and its innovative solutions in engine cooling and automotive air conditioning.
Nissens’ complete range includes over 8,000 spare parts covering more than 40,000 original equipment (OE) references. This allows it to serve a wide variety of vehicles—from passenger cars to trucks, buses, and agricultural machinery. Nissens is thus a versatile and reliable partner for thermal components in the aftermarket.
In 2024, Nissens was acquired by the American company Standard Motor Products (SMP) for approximately 390 million dollars. Despite this acquisition, Nissens continues to operate as an independent entity within the SMP group. Nissens’ future strategy focuses on sustainability and innovation. The company is heavily investing in environmentally friendly solutions and expanding its product range to include components for new energy technologies, including electric vehicles. Moreover, Nissens aims for close collaboration with SMP to leverage synergies and strengthen its position in the North American and European markets.
