Trusted to Deliver Better Since 1958
The MotoRad story continues to evolve as we develop new products and new partnerships. Established in 1958, Motorad develops, manufactures and supplies a range of products, including thermostats, caps and sensors, compatible with existing and emerging technologies for Internal Combustion Engines, Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and Battery Electric Vehicles. The MotoRad name is synonymous with quality, reliability, comprehensive coverage of vehicle models and exceptional customer service. Here are some important milestones in our history…
Joseph Fishman founds the company
In the mid 1950s, Joseph Fishman, a star die maker in the Israeli industrial sector, established a small tool and die shop in Haifa, Israel, to manufacture custom-made dies and distribute stamping machinery. Later on, Fishman decided to invest in the development of a core product line of engine thermostats that could be differentiated with Fishman’s technology and automation expertise.
North American subsidiary is established
Fishman establishes its North American service operation and begins to build dies for steel plates, friction plates and transmission filters. The company’s expertise in engineering allows it to buy and rebuild used machinery and expand into turnkey solutions.
MotoRad® brand launches in North America

Patented FAIL-SAFE® Thermostat
Fail-Safe Thermostats offer premium, patented technology for superior protection over any thermostat on the market. Only Fail-Safe is designed to lock in the open position when overheating occurs due to a failing cooling system component. This allows maximum coolant flow, thus preventing expensive engine damage. “A Few Extra Dollars Could Save You Thousands in Costly Engine Repairs.”
