With our experience as a development partner and our certified production standards, we are very well positioned to support our customers in their technological transition towards emission-free mobility.”
NORMA Group’s connection products are installed in cooling water lines and are used to cool various units in the vehicle, including the battery. The hose connectors and quick connectors have been part of NORMA Group’s portfolio for many years. Development engineers at NORMA Group specially adapted them for this order in cooperation with the customer.

The joining products are manufactured at NORMA Group’s plants in Maintal, Germany, and in Pilica, Poland. Some of the parts include a temperature sensor in order to ensure optimal operating temperature. In order to meet the increased demand, NORMA Group is investing in injection molding production at the Maintal site, in new assembly machines for quick connectors and in training employees.
