Roppel Industries Revenue and Competitors

Roppel Industries was founded in 1947 by brothers Virgil and John Roppel, both of whom had recently returned from active duty in World War II. The company began as a two-man radiator repair facility and through hard work and superior customer service evolved into the multistate company it has become today. By the 1960's, Roppel had begun both the manufacturing and distribution of radiator cores along with other heat transfer products. The third generation of Roppel family management is currently in progress with the addition of Ryan and Corey Roppel, both sons of Tom and grandsons of Virgil. After both graduated from the University of Kentucky the young men worked their way up through the company; Ryan by opening and managing the Knoxville, Tn. distribution facility and Corey by managing the retail stores, especially the radiator service center. Both are currently in the corporate office where Ryan is now the vice president of wholesale operations and Corey is vice president of wholesale sales. Roppel Industries currently consists of four retail service locations, one heat transfer service and repair facility, a Bosch / Robinair warranty, service center and nine warehouse distribution centers. The warehouses are spread across Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana. With over one hundred employees and a fleet of over fifty vehicles along with various contracting delivery services, Roppel's is well positioned to get the correct product to the right place at the needed time. The B to B service offerings of Roppel Industries have also evolved over the years. Roppel's still offers radiator repair and replacement but now those services have expanded into literally anything that transfers heat! From the smallest heater core or transmission cooler to huge Komatsu and Cat radiators. We service, repair and replace hydraulic, engine and transmission coolers, gen sets and condensing units are just a few of the myriad of heat transfer products available for service.
