King Radiator was founded in 1967 when Robert (Bob) Konig, a highly motivated and ambitious visionary, saw a unique opportunity to provide high quality service to an industry that suffered from poor quality control and warranty. Bob and his family delivered on this vision and have successfully grown King Radiator from a small facility in the suburbs of Toronto to a trusted supplier in various industries with a solid re-coring service to Transit, Public Works and Heavy Duty Class 8 Trucks. In 2000 Bob’s son, John, took the helm of the family business. John has worked with King Radiator in various roles for over twenty years. John brings his experience with front line customers and shop staff to his new role at the head of the company. He has been able to transition his father’s company to introduce new radiators for the trucking industry. John also found strategic partners with superior quality control and manufacturing processes to ensure every radiator installed and shipped by King Radiator would meet the standard its customers have come to expect. In 2014, John took an ambitious step to expand his company into a 10,000-sqft facility in Mississauga with over 1,500 stocked radiators, charge air coolers and condensers. King Radiator is now the largest radiator supplier and manufacturer in Mississauga. Following in his father’s footsteps, John saw another opportunity to provide higher value for taxpayer managed public transit fleets by offering newly designed and stocked radiator solutions. To avoid the downtime and logistics cost related to re-coring radiators to distant customer bases, King Radiator launched King Radiator Transit Line, the company’s new transit division. These radiators are manufactured using the highest quality control currently available in the industry. King Radiator’s 14 step testing process used for all new transit radiators ensures a higher life expectancy and greater reliability for customers.
