The factory began to supply radiators for the entire machine-building industry in Romania, equipping automobiles, trucks, buses, tractors, diesel locomotives, drilling installations or stationary units, a large part of which were destined for export. <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item\"><div class=\"timeline-year\">1980<\/div><div class=\"timeline-content\"><h3 class=\"timeline-title\">Over 7,000 tons of radiators annually<\/h3><div class=\"timeline-text\">After the complete transfer of cable production in 1980 to the Bistrita Mechanical Enterprise, the company continued the assimilation of new types and technologies of radiators, reaching a production capacity of over 7,000 tons of radiators annually in 1989.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item\"><div class=\"timeline-year\">1991<\/div><div class=\"timeline-content\"><h3 class=\"timeline-title\">ROMRADIATOARE S.A.<\/h3><div class=\"timeline-text\">In 1991 the company changed its name to ROMRADIATOARE. Also during this period, the assimilation of radiators as spare parts for export began, for various car brands. The range of products and applications began to diversify after 1994, including, in addition to traditional products, air conditioning installations and heaters. <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item\"><div class=\"timeline-year\">1995<\/div><div class=\"timeline-content\"><h3 class=\"timeline-title\">ROMRADIATOARE S.A. is privatized<\/h3><div class=\"timeline-text\">In 1995, ROMRADIATOARE was privatized through the sale of shares to employees. The year 1997 marked the initiation of a partnership with Renault Trucks, targeting the production of stamped parts for original equipment. <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item\"><div class=\"timeline-year\">1996<\/div><div class=\"timeline-content\"><h3 class=\"timeline-title\">Design and manufacture of specialized heat exchangers and complete cooling systems<\/h3><div class=\"timeline-text\">In the following years, the company sought to adapt its product offering and business model to new market conditions (opening to external markets, emergence of foreign competitors, decline of the local machine-building industry). Capitalizing on the experience accumulated in design and development, as well as the skills of highly qualified technical personnel, ROMRADIATOARE shifted the focus from large-scale production of automotive radiators to the design and manufacture of specialized heat exchangers and complete cooling systems, for a much wider range of applications than in the past. <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item\"><div class=\"timeline-year\">2008<\/div><div class=\"timeline-content\"><h3 class=\"timeline-title\">SIF Transilvania S.A. becomes majority shareholder of ROMRADIATOARE S.A.<\/h3><div class=\"timeline-text\">In 2008 SIF Transilvania S.A.
