NORMA Group recognizes Thyssenkrupp as its best supplier in Europe

Maintal, Germany, August 26, 2019 – NORMA Group, a global market leader in engineered joining technology, has honored Thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe GmbH (“Thyssenkrupp”) with its Supplier Recognition Award for the EMEA region. By presenting this award, NORMA Group recognizes the outstanding achievements of Thyssenkrupp in the areas of product quality, reliability, logistics, financial stability and sustainability in 2018. The assessment covered the Mannheim branch and other manufacturing sites in Central Europe.

“We want to provide our customers with joining solutions of impeccable quality at all times. This is what drives us to continuously improve ourselves,” said Dr. Friedrich Klein, Chief Operating Officer of NORMA Group. “We are delighted to have Thyssenkrupp at our side as a committed partner who promises and upholds high quality standards. Thyssenkrupp has repeatedly shown that customer orientation is its top priority.”

Thyssenkrupp has supplied NORMA Group with corrosion-protected steel and stainless steel strips for over ten years. NORMA Group uses these at several sites to produce metal clamps, such as hose clamps and exhaust gas clamps. Thyssenkrupp supplies the steel strips in the form of traverse wound coils, among other forms. This type of winding gives the steel strips a particularly long running meter length. This in turn enables NORMA Group to produce more efficiently with shorter set-up times.

NORMA Group has been presenting the “Supplier Recognition Award” to outstanding suppliers since 2014. The assessment is based on a systematic rating comprised of numerous criteria. The company also bases its selection of suppliers on other sustainability criteria such as compliance with human and employee rights, safety at the workplace and environmental and ethical aspects. These expectations of the sustainable management of its suppliers are formulated transparently in NORMA Group’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
