NORMA Group Receives “Major Order”
NORMA Group received a “major order” for quick connectors for use in cooling water systems from a German supplier to the automotive industry.
The order includes manufacturing more than five million NORMAQUICK PS3 quick connectors per year. These quick connectors in the nominal sizes 16 and 32 will be manufactured at NORMA Group’s site in Maintal, Germany, starting in February 2015.
“In order to be able to meet this demand, we increased the production capacities and invested in a new fully automatic assembly machine at our site in Maintal,” stated CEO Werner Deggim. “The new machine is capable of producing PS3 quick connectors around the clock, seven days a week.”
The NORMAQUICK PS3 quick connector is made of recyclable materials. An integrated retainer allows for the quick connector to be mounted and disconnected. An integrated O-ring keeps the connection tight.
Germany-based NORMA Group manufactures a range of joining technology solutions in three product categories (clamp, connect and fluid) and offers more than 35,000 products to more than 10,000 customers in 100 countries.
The company generated sales of around EUR 636 million in 2013. Web: normagroup.com
