History
T.RAD North America was established in 1988 as "CoPAR, Inc.", as a joint venture, or Co-PARtnership, between Toyo Radiator Co., LTD of Japan and another North American manufacturer. The primary goal of this joint venture was to support the growing agricultural and construction equipment markets in the United States. Hopkinsville, KY was selected as the home of our facility due to its centralized location.
Magnitude
Our copper/brass facility, which started at 61,000 square feet has now expanded to nearly 100,000 square feet. Most recently, this facility was upgraded with the addition of a vacuum brazing furnace, allowing us to produce stainless steel heat exchangers. In March of 2000, we celebrated the grand opening of our aluminum products manufacturing facility; a 100,000 square-foot operation, located approximately 3 miles from the copper/brass facility in Hopkinsville, KY.
