Maintal, Germany, December 10, 2024
NORMA Group has won a major order from an industrial customer to supply almost three million dishwashers with custom-made metal TORRO clamps annually starting in the fourth quarter of 2024. The customer is a leading global manufacturer of home appliances. NORMA Group is currently expanding its business with industry applications and aims to generate a larger share of sales in this area in the medium term.
CEO Guido Grandi: “This order is a good example of our strategy to build up additional business directly with manufacturers of machines and appliances from various industries in addition to our established sales channel via distributors. With our development capacities and our global production network, we can deliver customized solutions for our customers worldwide.
The TORRO worm drive clamp has been manufactured at NORMA Group's headquarters in Maintal for more than four decades. The clamp is characterized by a high belt tensile force and an even distribution of the clamping force. A new combination of the clamp band developed and manufactured in Europe and a screw based on the Anglo-American dimensional system was designed for the order.
NORMA Group has been increasingly aligning itself with global strategic business units since 2023. This opens up additional market opportunities, for example with solutions for industry applications.
