MSD Ignition
MSD Ignition is the defining brand for performance ignition systems, providing the spark for top fuel dragsters, NASCAR winners, and daily drivers interested in improved performance through quality products. Founded in 1970, MSD extended its reach into the performance tuning market through its 2005 acquisition of Superchips. The company was sold to ValueAct Capital in April 2005, yielding Gryphon a cash return of 2.5 times its investment and an IRR of approximately 175%.
