The distinguishing features of Nord are high quality standards, state-of-the-art production facilities, and extremely fast deliveries. It can deliver small- to medium-sized geared motors in two to three weeks and larger ones in four weeks. Furthermore, special delivery options are on offer, cutting waiting times down to as little as 24 hours. Moreover, special product lines open up new applications for Nord and provide the market with alternative solutions. For example, it has a growing segment of hygienic drives. Smooth-surface, light-weight aluminum gearboxes are an excellent choice for the beverage, food and chemical industries, as well as for large facilities with many drives, such as warehouses or airport baggage handling systems. Applications such as these also benefit from Nord’s comprehensive distributed electronics program.

Nord frequency inverters feature uniform operation across a differentiated but manageable model range and target cost-sensitive segments. Large industrial gear units are another Nord speciality. In fact, Nord is the only manufacturer worldwide to produce even very large industrial gear units with 242,000 Nm output torques in the proven one-piece UNICASE housing. Typical users include mining companies as well as the chemical industry, which needs high torques for mixing high-viscosity liquids.

“Developers need an intimate understanding of market trends and a dedication to continuous improvement. Good communication with our customers, who benefit greatly from a competent local or regional presence, is our biggest asset. It is understood that customers rely on us to provide exactly the level of support they require. For example, we supply complete drive units (consisting of a gearbox, a motor with the optimal energy efficiency rating and drive electronics) wired and fully operational, if required. This can save our customers a lot of time and effort. If they opt for plug connectors, installation takes a matter of seconds. And not only that, our fast and expert service team also supports customers from early planning stages all the way through to delivery, assembly and regular maintenance.” Solid performance

Nord is very happy with its performance over the past decade, especially taking into account the challenging state of the European economy. Today, the Nord Drivesystems Group holds a secure second place among providers of full-scale drive solutions. The group wants to strengthen this position. Its strategy consists of various pillars, including continuing with market-driven product developments, close customer relations and full-level customer support.

As the degree of automation in many industries increases, the demand for drive equipment keeps shifting from components to full-scale solutions. Nord’s range of products enables the group to configure a suitable drive system for any task, no matter how complex. On top of that, Nord Drivesystems is committed to making its solutions ever more efficient. “Quality, of course, is a knock-out criterion in a competitive market. Nord has earned its standing by always supplying highly efficient and long-life products, systems and excellent services. Just like all Nord companies, Nord Motoriduttori adheres to the same high production and quality assurance standards as our German global headquarters.” n

HIGH EXPERTISE IN GENERATORS

Based in the heart of the region of Wallachia, the Czech Republic, TES Vsetín is a leading manufacturer of electrical engines, drives and components that has been serving customers in many countries all over the world. Thanks to the recently opened centre for prototypes that produces and tests generators, the company is set to grow and double its sales.

The company is building on a 90-year tradition of electrical engine production in the Moravian region. It was established in 1994 after the privatisation of a state owned engineering company. The producer had been expanding its market through the mid-1990s, mainly in western European countries.

In 2002 TES entered the renewable energy sector when it introduced vertical and horizontal generators for small hydro power plants. Eight years later the company added wind power station generators to its portfolio and became the European leader in this sector.

Since 2011 the Czech producer has been part of the Advent International Corporation and last year it merged with the company MEZSERVIS, which manufactures electrical drives, testing stands, switchboards and industrial automation systems.

The production facility covers an area of 100,000m2. Last year 800 employees contributed to the annual sales of CZK 1.5 million and a profit of CZK 100 million which means a 10 per cent growth compared to the previous year.
