Norbar Torque Tools, celebrating its
70th Anniversary this year, has
triumphed at the Oxfordshire
Business Awards 2012 by being voted
the county’s top exporter. The Carter
Jonas Export Award was presented to
Norbar recently by athletics star
Kriss Akabusi. This follows on from
the company’s recent recognition as
Business of the Year 2012 at the
Cherwell Business Awards. It has
also twice won the Queen’s Award
for Export Achievement.

The family run firm is a specialist
in the design, development and
production of torque tightening and
measuring equipment, exporting
75% of its production to more than
100 countries worldwide.

Manufacturing is carried out solely
in Banbury.

The company is marking its 70th
anniversary with a move to a new
factory in Banbury which is three
times the size of its current premises.

The project will be phased and is due
for completion in 2014.
