GLOBAL SERVICE<br />

We are the world’s leading specialist in torque control and<br />

we are engaged solely in the design, development and<br />

production of torque tightening and measuring equipment.<br />

Our customers include manufacturers and engineering<br />

and gas, mining and sub-sea.<br />

There are sales and service branches in Australia, New<br />

Zealand, North America, Singapore, China and India.<br />

In addition, we have distributors of our torque control<br />

products in more than 60 countries around the world.<br />

A FAMILY RUN BUSINESS<br />

The Brodey family has been a part of <strong>Norbar</strong> since Bill<br />

Brodey and his partner Ernest Thornitt incorporated the<br />

company in 1943. We are now the third generation of the<br />

family to manage the business and are passionate about<br />

its every aspect. From our humble beginnings in a small<br />

workshop in North Bar, Banbury town centre, <strong>Norbar</strong><br />

has grown into an international group of companies that<br />

leads the field of torque control. However, what has not<br />

changed in over 75 years is that our product range is still<br />

substantially manufactured in Banbury with many suppliers<br />

in the surrounding area and we are still dedicated to being<br />

the best at what we do. As Bill Brodey’s original slogan<br />

stated 'made in Banbury in accordance with time-honoured<br />

tradition'.<br />

Early in <strong>2019</strong> we will be launching our highly anticipated<br />

EvoTorque® Battery Tool, giving our customers the ability<br />

to reach high torque values with freedom from cables and<br />

hoses. <strong>Norbar</strong>’s tool will combine a powerful brushless motor,<br />

accurate transducer controlled torque, comprehensive data<br />

gathering and wireless communication capability.<br />

We also take a new look at one of our original products – the<br />

Industrial Torque Wrench. Our customers told us that they<br />

wanted a wrench that was easier to set accurately, that would<br />

pack down smaller for transportation in service vehicles and<br />

for shipping and that was even easier to maintain. We believe<br />

that we have met all of these requirements and we are proud<br />

to introduce the resulting new product on page 26.<br />

We continue to invest in the very latest design,<br />

manufacturing and quality control technology to achieve<br />

the highest level of innovation and precision in the field of<br />

torque control and equipment.<br />
