Here at West End Radiators, we are committed to delivering high-quality cores backed by our industry-leading testing to meet your recore needs.
With the addition of our state-of-the-art Aluminum and Copper-Brass manufacturing facilities, we continue to invest in expanding our capabilities to serve as your trusted partner for years to come.


Our wide range of core options ensures that we can provide the best solution for your specific application, whether aluminum or copper-brass.
Our Unique Dual Testing Process For All Our Cores

All cores and recore work undergo our unique dual testing process, ensuring that every unit meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
This process guarantees that each core is rigorously tested for leaks and structural integrity before it leaves our facility, giving you confidence in the reliability of our products.
Whats The Difference Between Our Heavy-Duty Standardized Cores vs. A Custom Core

We offer two different styles of cores to our customers, custom or standardized, based on;
- Your timeline
- Yours/your customer’s needs
- The part you’re looking for
And while you really can’t go wrong with choosing either option, standardized or custom, there’s a few differences between the two.
Let’s walk through both so you can determine the best fit for you. Please note, sometimes our team may suggest the best option for you based on the information available and their expertise.
