Global Heat Transfer started on October 16, 1978 in Fort McMurray Alberta. The founder of GHT was at the time a heavy duty mechanic with the local Caterpillar dealer. A friend was complaining one day that there were no good radiator repair shop in Fort McMurray and needed one. After review the industry and the potential the founder decided to start a radiator repair shop.
However he had a problem in that although he understood radiators from his days as a mechanic, he did not know the first thing about how to a repair a radiator itself. So the first thing he did was to go around and visit the most biggest and most renowned radiator shops around North America. He paid each of them to teach him what they knew. After a few months of working closely with them he came back to Fort McMurray armed with the knowledge he had learned and opened the doors of G&G Radiator in October of 1979.
Global Heat Transfer has grown quickly ever since. We started with some founding values:
Give the customer an honest answer every time
Offer the best products at a reasonable price
Do whatever it takes to keep the customers happy
