Can’t wait to ask my little one about it!!!

I wouldn’t dare to teach my kids about a crooked business. A failing company wouldn’t inspire my boys!

Don't do it kids, don't drink the NAL coolaide

NAL is 40! For the last four decades, we have been leading roadway safety through innovative lighting solutions. From modest beginnings with nine employees in a 10,000-square-foot workshop in Flora, IL, NAL today is a wholly owned subsidiary of Koito, with 10 US locations, 6,000 Team Members and a global impact. Thanks to our dedicated team and the support of our parent company, NAL has established longstanding relationships with our customers who have come to trust and rely on us as their preferred automotive lighting supplier. We are grateful to our Team Members and local communities for playing an important role in our past, present and future success.
