Lara manufacturer radiates success

Air Radiators has won the Innovation, Research & Development category of the 2019 Deakin University Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

Air Radiators specialises in developing and manufacturing customised heat transfer solutions for engine cooling, hydraulic systems and mobile HVAC applications.

With manufacturing and service facilities in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Thailand, Air Radiators is dedicated to its customers from design through to after-sales service.

The company’s heat-transfer products serve the power and energy-generation industry, trucks and buses, construction and mining, defence, rail, oil and gas and HVAC markets.

“We understand tough environments, and engineer our products to thrive in challenging conditions,” Air Radiators says in its business awards entry submission.

“Founded in 1974, Air Radiators has continually adapted to changing market conditions by transforming our business to position ourselves as an innovative full compliance solutions provider of engineered products.

“Air Radiators is part of Australia’s largest radiator group, Adrad, which specialises in all forms of cooling systems and operate under a quality management system certified to ISO9001.”

The category win at the Geelong business awards was the second prominent honour for Air Radiators in 2019. In May the company won an inaugural Leader in Innovative Product Development and Commercialisation award at the annual Victorian Government Manufacturing Hall of Fame Gala event in Melbourne.

The award recognised Air Radiators’ “commitment to survive and grow” as an Australian manufacturer, says general manager Jamie Baensch.

“Coming up with a new idea is one thing, getting it to market is another.

“This award recognises our efforts to remain a proud, viable Australian manufacturer creating jobs and value for the Australian economy.”
