National Refrigeration Products

What National Refrigeration Products does

National Refrigeration Products (NRP) is a privately held U.S. manufacturer and sourcing company headquartered in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, founded in 1988 to supply professional-grade HVAC/R refrigerant service equipment and chemicals. The company organizes its catalog under three sub-brands: GlobeSafe (premium refrigerant hoses, forged brass manifold sets with analog gauges, two-stage rotary vane vacuum pumps from 3 to 12 CFM, and fluid transfer pumps); National Chemicals (alkaline, acid, and neutral pH coil cleaners, leak detectors, refrigerant line flush, the One & Done LeakStop sealant, and a range of aerosol maintenance products); and NRP Parts & Accessories (tools, electrical supplies, fasteners, motors, insulation, and brazing products). NRP holds several patents on recovery equipment with additional patents pending, and emphasizes Made-in-USA manufacturing with EPA compliance, UL approval, NSF registration, and EPA Safer Choice certification where applicable.

NRP sells entirely through a two-tier distribution model: national distribution is handled through United Refrigeration, one of the nation's leading HVAC/R distributors with locations across the country, and regional Mid-Atlantic coverage is provided through Aireco Supply. End customers are HVAC/R service professionals — contractors, service technicians, and refrigerant handlers — across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Products are quote-based and sold through distribution partners rather than direct e-commerce, with no public pricing disclosed. The company's go-to-market is therefore best characterized as a channel-led, brand-and-spec-driven specialty manufacturer, with 9 employees and no disclosed funding, M&A, or external investors. The product portfolio has incrementally evolved to cover newer A2L refrigerants (R32, R454B) and R744 (CO2), positioning NRP to benefit from the ongoing regulatory transition away from high-GWP refrigerants while remaining dependent on its two named distribution partners for end-market reach.
