The 'Serck'' font was their own design dating from the early 80s, as only the size of the characters and not the font style was mandated in the BS Au 145a standard that applied then. Serck originally started supplying radiators and coolers to the motor industry, and Serck Heat Exchange still do. Their Motorsport division is still a leading supplier of radiators, intercoolers and oil coolers to F1, race and rally teams as well.'' -- Last edit: 2025-07-22 14:01:18
