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 />
