Innotherm Pty Ltd

What Innotherm Pty Ltd does

Innotherm Pty Ltd is an Australian privately-held engineered cooling solutions specialist headquartered in Tottenham, Victoria, founded in 2011 with 7 employees and a 4,400 sqM production facility relocated in late 2020. The company designs and manufactures custom thermal management systems — radiators, charge air coolers/intercoolers, transmission and hydraulic oil coolers, plate heat exchangers, fans and fan clutches — engineered for extreme ambient conditions (50C+), corrosive environments, dust, high altitude and compact engine bay envelopes across heavy vehicle, mining, power generation, rail, defence, agricultural, materials handling and industrial markets. Its flagship product is the patented Terminator 2 (T2) heavy-duty two-speed fan clutch, which became a published first-fit option on multiple Kenworth/PACCAR platforms from September 2023 and is supported by a service-kit aftermarket range. InnoTherm is ISO9001 certified (continuously since 2011, third clean re-certification November 2023) and holds approved-supplier status with PACCAR Parts (December 2023 Partner Program), Terex (Franna Mobile Cranes), Goldacres, Denning/Bustech, Austoft and Palm Trans.

Innotherm operates a sales-led, quote-based direct sales model, engaging enterprise customers in engineering consultation for each project and, more recently, accessing the PACCAR dealer aftermarket channel through the PACCAR Parts Partner Program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through one-time engineered product sales plus aftermarket parts and service kits. The company has begun extending into adjacent zero-emission transport with a Low Emission Vehicle Cooling Systems line covering battery-electric, battery-hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell thermal management. Geographic focus is Australia-only with no disclosed international footprint. No external funding rounds, parent company, acquisitions, or leadership changes were identified.
