Our motion and fluid controls business, Norgren, provides sophisticated solutions which control air and other fluids in precision technological and engineering applications – allowing our OEM customers to gain competitive advantage in demanding end user markets.

From the ultra-fine control of medical dosing valves to the arduous environment of on-board truck air braking systems, our wealth of understanding and technical expertise in many different industry sectors enable our customers to optimise the design and performance of their machines and systems.

Close relationships with our OEM customers and their markets give us a sound understanding of their business needs, processes and environments, enabling us to develop fresh, innovative, design-engineered solutions. These in turn help our customers to increase sales and market share, and reduce total cost of ownership.

Following the successful acquisition of the Swiss miniature solenoid valve specialist Fluid Automation Systems (FAS) in 2004, two further US additions in 2005 have developed the scope of Norgren's services: Syron integrated tooling solutions for automotive manufacturers, and GT Development Corporation on-board truck solutions for the commercial vehicle sector.

With worldwide manufacturing and technical facilities, and an established sales and service network in more than 75 countries, Norgren has the global resources and support capabilities to manage the most demanding of international projects.
