NRF: Nearly a Century of Cooling Excellence

NRF — short for Nederlandse Radiateuren Fabriek, or Netherlands Radiator Factory — was founded in 1927 by R. Bloksma in Amsterdam. The factory was originally directed toward the repair of radiators, but in the 1930s NRF also started its own production department. Nearly a century later, that small Amsterdam workshop has grown into one of the most recognized names in thermal management worldwide.

A Global Leader in Engine Cooling

For almost 100 years NRF has been a leading manufacturer and supplier of cooling products and solutions for the automotive aftermarket, marine, railway, and industrial sectors. NRF has expertly expanded its offerings far beyond radiators, now featuring an impressive catalog of over 13,000 engine cooling and climate control parts. NRF operates eight production facilities worldwide, including three in Europe, and its products are supplied to more than 80 countries.

NRF is well known as a supplier of engine cooling and air conditioning parts, but today is also a first choice for sensors, electronics, and parts for air and emission management. NRF has a strong focus on e-mobility and currently offers more than 1,000 parts for electric and hybrid vehicles — one of the largest ranges of EV aftermarket cooling parts available.

Engineering & Quality You Can Trust

All NRF parts are manufactured to original specifications and designed for easy installation. With dedicated test equipment for each product group, NRF guarantees long-lasting parts. Many NRF products ship as "Easy Fit" kits — meaning all necessary assembly parts such as O-rings, adaptors, clamps, and clips are delivered in the product packaging — saving technicians valuable time at the bench.

In 2022, NRF opened a brand-new 30,000 m² warehouse in Gdańsk, Poland, which serves as NRF's European distribution center — in fact, the largest European warehouse with a stock of engine cooling and climate control parts.

NRF's Core Product Categories

NRF's catalog is organized around the heat exchangers and airflow components that keep engines and cabins at the right temperature. The brand's roots run deepest in radiators, where the NRF radiator range contains 3,300 references covering over 15,200 OE references and 93% of the European car parc. Complementing those are engine oil coolers, which protect lubrication systems under heavy thermal stress, auxiliary engine cooling fan assemblies that ensure proper airflow when a vehicle is stationary or moving slowly, and HVAC heater cores that deliver cabin warmth by circulating hot engine coolant through a compact heat exchanger. Together, these product lines reflect NRF's comprehensive approach to vehicle thermal management — keeping engines cool, oil clean, and drivers comfortable in every season.

NRF covers a wide range of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, agricultural and heavy-duty vehicles, across all major brands and models. Whether you are a professional workshop or a dedicated enthusiast, NRF's depth of coverage and commitment to OE-matching quality make it a dependable choice for any cooling system repair or replacement.
