Indeed, Norson have already recruited nine new staff, while it is predicted that anticipated new business over the coming months will demand an expansion of the existing team by perhaps a further ten new employees.
"Being a certified Parker distributor will see us grow our hydraulic business by 50% in the next two years", explains Bill Bell, Managing Director of Norson.
"We are now able to offer the complete range of Parker products, from the simplest fluid connectors through to the most complex of hydraulics systems".
Bell continues: "In recent months we have become widely recognised for our pipeline, process and umbilical business, which continues to grow, particularly internationally".
"However, we have always been a leader in hydraulics, supplying components as well as repairing, testing, designing and building systems in addition to offering laboratory facilities".
"The recent developments in our collaboration with Parker underline our reputation in hydraulics and allows us to offer Parker's proven hose and connector products backed by our advanced technical knowledge and expertise".
A further element of the partnership means that Norson is now an approved provider of Parker's Hose Doctor service, providing Norson with a fleet of Hose Doctor branded vehicles.
This enables the company to provide a rapid response, on-site equipment repair and routine maintenance service to help customers maximise performance and avoid costly downtime.
Nick Brogan, Distribution Manager for Parker Hannifin, adds: "With over 30 years experience, Norson is one of the most widely recognised names in hydraulics".
"Combining Norson's expertise with Parker's hydraulics experience and knowledge gives us a strong partnership, with each benefiting from the other". Request free introductory details about products from Parker Hannifin ...
