Manufacturer of Heavy-Duty Aluminum Cooling Systems — Custom-Built & Fully Recyclable 

Founded in 2004 and located in the heart of Quebec’s Aluminum Valley (Saguenay), SKL Aluminium was created by Ghislain Larouche with a clear mission: to provide radiator shops and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) with heavy-duty cooling units delivered quickly, reliably, and at highly competitive costs.

Aluminum naturally became the material of choice thanks to its superior thermal properties, light weight, durability, and 100% recyclability.

Innovation: The DNA of SKL 

Innovation drives every step of our production process—from manufacturing techniques to final assembly.

SKL Aluminium continuously develops custom-built solutions designed to enhance the performance and lifespan of heavy equipment operating in demanding environments.

At the Cutting Edge With OEM Manufacturers 

Since its inception, SKL Aluminium has partnered with original equipment manufacturers to deliver:

  • replacement cooling units,
  • complete cooling systems and cooling packs,
  • and heavy-duty engineered solutions meeting the latest industry standards.

We stay closely aligned with technological, regulatory, and industry changes, ensuring rapid integration into our manufacturing processes. Our OEM partnerships typically begin at the design stage and extend through prototyping, testing, and full-scale production.

A High-Performance Production Model 

We design and manufacture radiators, charge-air coolers, oil coolers, condensers, and fuel coolers primarily for:

  • heavy-equipment sectors
  • mining
  • construction
  • forestry
  • and other industrial applications requiring high-performance cooling systems

Our custom replacement units can be built to any required dimensions, with short lead times, supported by a Canada-wide distributor network.

Expertise, Engineering & Technology 

Our strength comes from the combination of:

  • the craftsmanship of our skilled workforce,
  • the knowledge of our engineering team,
  • and advanced thermal-exchange calculation technologies.

This synergy allows us to optimize the efficiency, durability, and robustness of every core and cooling system we produce.
