Made in Port Coquitlam.
About a hundred people. One building. Every box hand-assembled and bench-tested before it ships. This is where "built like a tank" is actually true, and it has never been filmed. The factory is the proof behind every other film. We shoot it last, on purpose, and it ties the whole thing together.
North light, a soldering iron, one board at a time.
Cool daylight from a high window, warm task light on the hands. Components in labeled bins. The quiet of a place where the claim gets earned, not marketed. No empty rooms this time. The people.
Small enough to be human. Big enough to matter.
The story lands harder now than it has in years.
Peter Janis founded the company in 1992 and passed in 2024. The people who build the gear are still there, and the question of who Radial is and why it builds this way is live in a way it wasn't before. This is not a tribute film and not a sad one. It's a record of a place that still makes things by hand, at the moment that's worth keeping. We treat it with the restraint it deserves.
How we'd handle itThe most filmable asset you own, currently a floor plan.
A real-estate announcement.
"We've moved into a bigger building." Photos of empty rooms. The hundred people who are the story are nowhere in it.
The hands, the bench, the test.
The moment a box passes and gets boxed. The faces of the people whose work the touring engineers trust without ever meeting them.
"Built like a tank," proven.
Not a slogan on a banner. A place you can see, with people in it, doing the thing the phrase describes.
The whole claim, built like a tank, is a manufacturing fact with no footage behind it. We give the fact a face. Gap 01
