NRF is proud to announce a major expansion in Spain with the relocation of its Valencia warehouse.
NRF is a leading supplier of engine cooling and climate control parts for the automotive aftermarket. The total offer exists of more than 11,000 references, which is rapidly growing. Combined with an increasing sales volume, NRF needs to expand its warehouse capacity. After the opening of a new 30,000 m2 in Poland early this year, NRF is now opening a brand-new 12,700 m2 warehouse in Valencia, Spain.
NRF is proud to announce a major expansion in Spain with the relocation of its Valencia warehouse. The company is doubling its warehouse space from 6,400 m2 to 12,700 m2. This development reflects the company’s desire to meet growing customer demands for both the Iberian and overseas markets. In addition, it will improve NRF’s operational efficiency and ensures that the company can adapt easily to future growth expectations.
With this substantial increase in space, NRF Spain will be better equipped to manage its inventory, streamline order fulfillment processes, and offer an even higher level of service to their partners. In addition to its primary warehouse function, this new site will also be used to organize local and international customer meetings.
Finally, NRF ‘s commitment to sustainability is also reflected in this expansion project, with plans to implement eco-friendly measures to reduce the environmental footprint of warehouse operations.
The relocation is scheduled to be completed by 1 February 2024. NRF does not expect any disruptions to their regular operations during the transition period. NRF will be the only tenant in this newly built location.

Not all aftermarket parts are the same. Two components that look identical in the box can perform very differently on the road. One might last for years without issues. The other might fail within months, creating a comeback for the workshop and frustration for the customer.
The difference usually comes down to how the product was designed, tested and manufactured. Price and branding play a role in perception, but they are not reliable indicators of actual quality. This article explains the main factors that truly determine aftermarket part quality, and how professionals can use that knowledge to make better sourcing decisions.
Reliability is not always visible from the outside. A car part may look perfectly fine in the box, with clean packaging and a professional finish, but still fail within months of installation. Equally, a component with less flashy presentation might deliver years of trouble-free performance.
True reliability usually comes from what happened before the part reached the shelf: the engineering behind it, the materials chosen, the testing it went through and the consistency of the manufacturing process. But as a workshop manager, buyer or mechanic, you do not always have access to those details. So how can you tell whether a part is likely to be reliable before you install it?
This article covers the practical signs to look for, and the red flags to watch out for.
We would like to inform you of a strategic adjustment to our Copper Brass cores manufacturing operations. As part of our ongoing strategy to strengthen and optimize our operations, we are planning to move the Copper Brass core production from our Mill facility in the Netherlands to our Spanish factory in Granada during Quarter 4 2025.
Aluminium and copper cores can both undergo comprehensive maintenance, extending their lifespan significantly. NRF offers complete maintenance and repair services for aluminium and copper brass radiators, allowing these cores to be rejuvenated and remain functional for longer periods. This includes fixing leaks, adjusting structures, and providing a one-year warranty that underscores the durability and ease of maintenance of aluminium radiator cores. An additional benefit of our maintenance services is their contribution to environmental sustainability.
