The big selling point for Nissens is the way they double fold the
aluminum making it stronger than the competition.
Check this out:
DOUBLE-FOLDED FINS
In order to ensure the cooling capacity, even under extreme physical
conditions, Nissens has for a number of years manufactured radiators
with double-folded fins. These are much stronger than the more common
single-folded fins, resisting dust, stones thrown up from the road etc.
much better. This reduces the risk of damage which would affect the
cooling capacity and engine performance negatively. The efficiency of
this technology is evident from the fact that it is now utilized for
racing car radiators, where even the slightest reduction in engine
performance may constitute the difference between success and failure.
and,
STRONG PACKAGING
To ensure perfect functionality after shipping, Nissens utilizes extra
strong packaging. The radiator is fixed in the packaging in order to
ensure that it reaches its destination unharmed, and should transport
damage occur despite this, each piece of packaging is labelled with a
complaint number which facilitates an easy path through Nissens'
complaint system.
They used all the right words to convince me to go with them.
I'll report of I find any more/different.

they are a danish outfit. their gimmick used to be metal tanks back when
behr was using plastic tanks where the plastic necks broke. i've never had
an issue with them, not with behr. i think today though they are using a
lot of contract radiators rather than made in the factory in denmark
radiators. as a general rule, i'd be all over a denmark made nissens and
not too inclined on anything made elsewhere.
i don't know if behr is still making the 123 radiators, which would also
lead me to nissens. in summa, price being equal, i'd go german behr then
denmark nissens then south african behr then down the line. at a nice
discount, say 25 percent or better, i'd put denmark nissens on top

Are they comparable to Behr? I don't think I've ever heard of them.
