Tridan International

What Tridan International does

Tridan International is a US-based manufacturer of heavy industrial machinery used to produce coils, fins, and tubing for heat exchangers and HVAC systems. Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Danville, Illinois, the company sells five core product lines: fin production machines (stamping presses including the RLB45, RLB75, and HFP75 plus the FinMaster low-volume system), tube fabrication equipment (straighteners, hairpin benders, return benders, header machinery, end formers), coil expansion machines (anchored by the Flexpander platform, most recently updated as the Servo Flexpander), micro channel tube processing equipment, and a line of manufacturing lubricants. Underlying technology is mechanical and electromechanical rather than digital: precision metal forming, servo-controlled actuation, and proprietary process tooling developed over 50+ years.

The company's business model is built on high-ticket capital equipment sales via direct enterprise field sales, supported by a formal Request a Quote process across six product categories and an aftermarket Parts & Service department. Customers are primarily HVAC and refrigeration OEMs and heat exchanger manufacturers serving aerospace, cryogenics, and industrial markets; the company states it serves customers in more than 60 countries. Since 2018, Tridan has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovative Automation, consolidated alongside Livernois Engineering under a single ownership group representing 140 years of combined heat exchange experience. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has no public funding, listing, or material M&A activity in the input data.
