Manager Mark Geltch with Fay Vogelzang and Norm Johnson, the Directors
of Nordon Cylinders
|
Nordon Cylinders was founded in October 1972 by Norm Johnson to accommodate the growing need for good hydraulic products to all sectors of industry. In 1982 Fay Vogelzang joined the company as Sales Director and the combination of the two directors' engineering and sales skills ensured that the growing business flourished. Based in Brendale, Brisbane, the company still has the same strong commitment to quality, service and customer satisfaction after 32 years.
Nordon Cylinders supplies a broad range of hydraulic cylinders to agricultural and industrial clients, and also has a select base of OEMs that utilize Nordon's cylinders in the manufacture of their own products. The company has experience of designing and producing quality components for everything from a simple barber's chair to the high demands of mobile excavators and blow and injection moulding machines, which work 24-hours a day, seven days a week, requiring only one shut down per year. Another example of the company's ability to perform to a very high standard is the manufacture of lube oil trolleys for the Tarong Power Station.
Currently employing 34 people, Nordon Cylinders has a strong distribution network throughout Australia, providing technical as well as after sales support, and began exporting in 2004.
In February, the company achieved their aim of giving customers added peace of mind by obtaining an internationally approved quality management system, being guided to ISO9001 certification by IMSM. Not long afterwards Fay Vogelzang told Quest, "We chose IMSM because the customer service was so good." She added that although it was still early days, they were confident that they would soon start seeing the results of the implementation of ISO 9001.
