NORD celebrates 40th anniversary in the U.S. with planned expansion

April 18, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

With its headquarters in Waunakee, Wis., NORD Gear Corporation is celebrating its 40th anniversary in the United States this year with its sixth expansion – adding 86,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space. The company is expanding for the sixth time since it built its North American headquarters in Waunakee, Wis. in 1983. The global company began U.S. operations in 1979 in nearby Middleton, Wis., sharing a building with Fristam Pumps – a continuing long-time customer.

NORD’s newest expansion will add 86,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space. This will help NORD increase the company’s capacity and ensure a continued short lead time delivery. The company currently delivers 22 % of customer orders same day or next day, and 44 % within five working days, including custom orders. NORD’s main products include gearboxes, motors and frequency inverters as well as industrial gear units.

Expanding its U.S. production capabilities, NORD also added a $6.2 million building expansion and new paint line in Wisconsin last year. Torsten Schultz, NORD’s U.S. President, explained, “We continue to grow, so we almost tripled our capacity with our new paint line. On a daily basis, we currently assemble on average 650 gear units and 300 motors.” He added, “We’re also expanding our facility on Charlotte, NC by 15,000 square feet this year.”

Schultz said one of the reasons for NORD’s success is its strong engineering support and customer service. The company employs about two dozen engineers that help customers create solutions for their power transmission challenges. “Our top business growth areas are in the warehouse logistics, airports, food and beverage industry, and the grain industry,” he explained.

“So whether customers are designing new baggage handling systems, conveyors for warehouses, or mixing tanks for food processing, NORD offers engineering support.”
