The Larger ‘Serck’ Picture

Our strength and success come from our ability to develop practical solutions for our customers’ problems in the field. We share the philosophy of our parent company, Unipart (which has its own impressive history of innovation and reinvention): “to know and understand the real and perceived needs of our customers better than anyone else, and to serve them better than anyone else”
We are also unique in our ability to leverage this larger group with partnerships across industries and centres for innovation.

Today, Serck provides specialist design, manufacture, installation, service, and global export of heat transfer technology across a range of sectors and geographies. Operational capabilities include industrial and marine heat exchangers, climate control and heat recovery products and efficiency coatings, as well as specialist, heavy-duty, high-performance, and heritage automotive radiators.

Recent Success

Our consistent development and innovation has lead us to some tremendous partnerships globally including Formula One, GT3, Touring Car, Drag Racing, NASCAR and Formula E. And in addition to the high levels of professional motorsport, we have also seen success for many independent race teams and racing classes (See summary above).

We are thrilled to be able to provide our Cooling Systems, Testing, Analysis Programs and Racing Products to a wide spectrum within the high performance road, drift and racing arena for all levels of motorsport. New progress in recent years even includes Aerospace as we test their components within our Racing Services Division for Micron Analysis Data and much more.

A Racing Pedigree

Today’s expertise is based on many years of experience, beginning in the 1960s, when Serck Sheet Metal Services was established to meet the growing demand for racing applications. Over the years, we continued to provide leading teams such as Lola, Ralt, Royale and Tiga with high quality products and service, and also became involved with Indycar, supplying radiators for Penske, March and Lola cars, as well as achieving rally success with Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota Europe and Mitsubishi.

Other success stories range from Nigel Mansell’s Indycar and Lola’s Formula 3000 & A1GP Series to Ford Motorsports competition department, MGF road racing series, and the Jaguar X.1220. Our aluminium cooling technology was also in use when McLaren took 1st, 2nd and 4th place at Le Mans in 1995, and the V12 BMW engine of their road-going F1 relative is cooled by twin Low-Weight radiators developed by Serck Motorsport.

Our History

The Serck business began with the ideas of Peter Oscar Serck, who pioneered cooling for the emerging automotive industry in the early 1900’s. But it would’ve faded away if he had not managed to combine his industry expertise and creativity to solve new problems as transport evolved. During WWII, the Serck name was firmly entrenched in the marketplace as Serck reinvented itself as a wartime supplier and their designs were adapted for use in aviation and larger-scale transport.
