What Dolphin Manufacturing does

Dolphin Manufacturing LLC (formerly Dolphin Global Holdings) is a private thermal management and heat exchanger manufacturer founded in 1986 by Nooruddin Jetpurwala and headquartered in Ajman, UAE. The company designs and produces radiators, charge air coolers, oil and fuel coolers, battery cold plates, HVAC coils, dry coolers, and a full spectrum of heat exchangers spanning Cu-Brass, tube-to-fin aluminum, bar & plate aluminum, flat-to-round, plate, shell & tube, and microchannel architectures. It serves OEMs and Independent Aftermarket partners across automotive, commercial vehicles, off-highway and mining, agriculture, material handling, rail transport, marine, power generation, HVAC-R, data centers, renewable energy, fuel cell/hydrogen, and e-mobility applications in more than 80 countries.

The company's technical foundation rests on multi-material capability (Cu-Brass, CAB and VAB aluminum, specialty alloys), proprietary technologies including 5mm fin, PFRT, mechanically bonded flat-to-round, and copper antimicrobial coil systems, and a manufacturing base equipped with robotic welding, high-frequency welding, laser CNC machining, and large coil fin presses. It holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and AHRI certifications, and operates an in-house validation and verification program covering thermal, structural, and corrosion testing.

Commercially, Dolphin operates through direct enterprise field sales to OEM manufacturers combined with a global IAM partner network, supported by wholly-owned subsidiaries in Grand Prairie, Texas (Dolphin Heat Exchanger USA) and Pune, India (Dolphin Heat Transfer Pvt Ltd). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting a custom-engineered B2B model in which revenue is generated through both hardware sales and embedded professional services (design collaboration, prototyping, and validation). The company remains founder-controlled under Nooruddin Jetpurwala as Founder & Chairman, with no disclosed external institutional investor involvement.
