Over 90 years of industrial experience and technological know-howCOMPANY HISTORY
1926
“Ancora Romana”
ROMRADIATOARE traces its roots back to 1926, when a factory producing steel traction cables (and later also aluminum electric cables) was set up in Brasov by a large industrial group of those times – “Industria Sirmei S.A”.
1961
“Fabrica de Radiatoare si Cabluri Brasov”
Production of radiators begins in 1961, when the company takes over the radiator production unit from a local tractor factory (the first Romanian company to produce radiators, since 1948). After the merger, the factory develops and supplies radiators for the entire Romanian machine building industry (national producers of cars, trucks, buses, tractors, Diesel locomotives, drilling machinery, stationary engines). By 1989, the factory had a production capacity of over 7000 tones of radiators per year.

Starting with 1994, ROMRADIATOARE diversifies its product range to incorporate HVAC units and residential heat exchangers.

Focus on designing and manufacturing specialized heat exchangers, cooling systems and metal components
Faced with the decline of the local machine building industry which occurred in the following years, and having to compete on a global market, the company adapted its business model to the new realities. Thus, leveraging on its extensive radiator design and production experience, and highly skilled technical staff, ROMRADIATOARE switched its focus from mass-production of automotive radiators to designing and manufacturing specialized heat exchangers, cooling systems and metal components for a broad range of applications.
