Industrias Dolz launches its new range of thermostats attached to water pumps, for passenger cars of BMW, Land-Rover y Opel.

CASTELLON MARCH 15th, 2021. Industrias Dolz continues to expand its range, consolidating its position as an Aftermarket leader, with the launch of its new thermostats attached to water pumps.

For this reason, we are pleased to inform that Industrias Dolz has just launched 6 new thermostat references, which are already available. All of them are mounted on the water pump, being an essential part in the cooling system.

Also, we launched the Kit thermostat with the water pump. Being 7 new references available on the market.

The thermostat is a vital component of a car’s cooling system. Its main function is to ensure that an engine is always operating at its optimum temperature. Different manufacturers may use different types of configurations.

In this case, the thermostats that Dolz launches on the market are thermostats with their plastic housing that mount directly on the water pump. They are in charge of controlling and directing the flow of the cooling system towards the radiator, when cooling the engine is required. The mechanism for both opening and closing is based on a viscous resin that reacts to changes in the temperature of the coolant, activating the opening and closing position of the thermostat.

Industrias Dolz produces each year over 5.5 million water pumps for cars, industrial vehicles and distribution kits distributing them in more than 70 countries across the world. More than 90% of the global turnover derives from exports, which denotes the high degree of internationalization.

A QR code located on the side of the boxes that, by scanning it through your Smartphone, allows easy on-line access to Industrias Dolz warranty note, with assembly information and available in four languages.

An action that gives continuity to our commitment to environment, ratified by obtaining the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certification, with which the company is certified.

Industrias Dolz

Industrias Dolz continues its expansion, consolidating its position and international character, as one of the market leaders of water pumps for cars, trucks and timing belt kits.

For this reason, we are pleased to inform that Industrias Dolz has just established a new delegation in Mexico, in the city of Puebla. The city has one of the largest automotive clusters in the country, which makes it the center of the automotive industry in Mexico.

The facilities will have 1400 square meters, and the team will be formed by 20 new employees.

These new employees are added to the more than 400 employees that the company has in its different logistics centers and factories in Spain, Argentina and China.

The range available will be more than 250 specific references for the American market, which will be gradually increased according to the needs of this.

The General Manager, Mr. Jesús Dolz, indicated that “We started this new project full of enthusiasm and commitment. The objective is to consolidate and increase our position, maintaining the highest quality requirement of our products, reducing the delivery time, and always offering the best service to our customers “

The company brings its more than 80 years of experience in the sector to its American market, and offers its products manufactured with the highest quality with the latest technology.

We are pleased to inform that Industrias Dolz has just been certified with the ISO 14001: 2015 for its new factory in Almazora, only 1 year after moving to the new factory of 25,000 m2, which increases it productivity to 100.000 weekly water pumps.

Continuing with its commitment with the Environment, Industrias Dolz has as strategic axis in this certification, which consists of having an Environmental Management System (EMS), which helps to identify, prioritize and manage the environmental risks of the activity of the company, which is the manufacture and distribution of water pumps and timing belt kits.

This certification offers improvements in waste management, management of environmental risks, commitment to continuous improvement promoting a more efficient use of raw materials, and increase the integration with other certifications as ISO 9001 in quality.

“The achievement of this certification that is integrated with quality certification, will contribute to the conservation of the environment and the improvement of working conditions for workers” indicates Nuria Arquimbau, in charge for Safety and Environment of Industrias Dolz.

The Managing Director, Jesús Dolz, indicates that “this certification is a consequence of the Strategic Plan of the company that has been able to certify in a record time of just one year, thanks to the new factory“

With the arrival of winter and lower temperatures the maintenance of the engine cooling system is particularly important in our vehicles. And water pump is, more concretely, the component that causes most faults in this system according to RACE´s (the Spanish motorist club) roadside assistance statistics. This is the reason why the Spanish water pump manufacturer Industrias Dolz points out the importance of checking in this period the entire engine cooling system in a trusted garage, from the coolant to the mechanical elements that make it up.

The water pump is the component of the engine cooling system that motivates more roadside assistance, ahead of those related to the radiator, the distribution, the thermostat or the coolant. In fact, according to the information registered by the Spanish motorist club RACE, the water pump is among the top 10 reasons for road assistance last summer, just behind the usual ones: battery, tires, engine, accidents, pump / diesel injection, starter and clutch.

“The water pump makes the coolant to circulate through the system so that the engine works at its optimum temperature. The failure or malfunction of this component could have serious consequences on the engine. Hence the need to include checking the cooling system and the water pump among the preventive maintenance operations that motorists perform, or should perform, before the arrival of winter. This simple action could prevent much more expensive engine breakdowns“, highlights Javier Vicent, Marketing Manager of Industrias Dolz.

In this regard, the coolant performs a fundamental function, as it is responsible for absorbing part of the heat generated when engines are operating. This fluid travels through the internal circuit of the motor avoiding the overheating of its main parts, since an excess of temperature could melt the pistons, the head gasket, or even cause an internal explosion. It ensures the vehicle operating temperature is maintained within safe limits.

This fluid suffers a significant wear and tear in winter so it is essential “to avoid that its level falls below the recommended”, explains Javier Vicent who recommends “replacing it every two years or o 40.000 kilometers — whichever is the sooner —. In the same way, it is essential to avoid using a poor quality refrigerant, as it can negatively affect the performance of the water pump”, he adds.

For this reason, Industrias Dolz´s Marketing Manager recommends checking the level of coolant at least once a month, especially at this time of year. “Doing it is very simple. Once the vehicle is placed on a flat surface, we just need to open the bonnet, locate the liquid tank and check if its level is between the maximum and the minimum marks. Of course, for safety reasons this operation must be carried out with the engine cold”.

To conclude, Javier Vicent points out that “if the coolant level drops very quickly it could mean the existence of a leak in the circuit, so it is important to go to a repair shop to check for this possible loss of fluid which could cause a greater damage”.

Industrias Dolz will once again be present at Automechanika Frankfurt, the world’s leading trade fair for automotive after-sales professionals, which this year will be celebrating its 25th edition. From 11 to 15 September, the Spanish manufacturer, located in Pavilion 5.0 stand C11, will present its latest product and service developments included in its water pumps and distribution kits with water pump for private cars and industrial vehicles of the brands DOLZ and GGT.
