Champion Auto parts Naas or maybe Newbridge?
« on: Wednesday 15 December 21 19:24 GMT (UK) »
Heya everyone!

Random one, Does anyone remember Champion Auto parts in either Naas or Newbridge?

It was one of my dads first jobs, he has sadly passed so I can't ask him anything about it, but I'm trying to remember where it was? I remember when we were little, all the employees there contributed to sending all the Champion workers kids to The panto in dublin at christmas, I use to love it :D

Could you be thinking of CPS Industries BV, they made spark plugs for Champion on Monread Rd. Naas. I can see an ad from 1990 but don't think they are still around today.

That could be it :)
I just know my dad had that black and red champion logo on his work top. I do know a few years before he passed that he told us the place was now gone.

Thanks so much for your reply
