BUILDING ICONIC HEAT TRANSFER
SOLUTIONS SINCE 1957

L&M Radiator’s legacy as one of the world's leading providers of cooling and heat transfer solutions began in 1957. L&M Radiator, Inc. acquired the rights to the individual replaceable cooling tube radiator concept originally developed by the British in WWII and brought this concept to the Minnesota Mesabi Iron Range. With rapid acceptance of the MESABI® Radiator in the mining industry, the concept skyrocketed into worldwide popularity as both an OEM and aftermarket product for mobile and stationary heavy-duty equipment. Thus, the generation of MESABI® products.

What was important then is just as important now. Today, L&M Radiator, Inc. has evolved into the premier global supplier of precision-engineered OEM cooling and heat transfer solutions. MESABI® Heat Exchangers are the world standard for heat transfer reliability.

L&M Radiator, Inc., headquartered in Hibbing, Minnesota, is a global company that specializes in designing, manufacturing, and distributing MESABI industrial radiators and heat exchangers for heavy industrial applications. L&M has been serving industries around the globe for over 65 years, and have recently been acquired by Wabtec Corporation, a company in the making for over 150 years and 27,000 employees strong. With a dedicated focus on delivering high-quality, engineered products, L&M has joined the Wabtec family to continue producing the world’s greatest heat exchangers on the market while driving innovation and changing the way the world moves.
