Founder of TheSparkTwin · Owner of Ets Allio & Fils
I am French, and I grew up around garden machinery. Three generations of horticulture behind me: my grandfather was a nurseryman and forester, my mother a landscaper and then nurserywoman.
My very first memory of a spark plug is my mini-bike, around the age of four or five: watching my father blow on it and brush it clean. I did not understand why, but I understood that was how it had to be done. I still keep a Marchal plug from back then, with its Batman-mask logo.
Since 2010 I have run spare-parts shops — today Ets Allio & Fils (garden machinery and spare parts). That business is exactly why I built TheSparkTwin: I needed a cross-reference tool that was simple, fast and free of intrusive ads. That is what I set out to offer here.
