New production site for Norbar

Norbar Torque Tools is to move to a new 170,000ft2 production site that is more than three times larger than its existing factory.

This is to expand manufacturing output and deal with increased demand for its precision engineering products, 75% of which are exported worldwide to over 100 countries.

The company is remaining in Banbury, Oxfordshire, where it has been established since its launch in the 1940s, demonstrating commitment to the town and the firm's mostly local workforce. The expansion means further employment opportunities at the family run company.
