We have enjoyed working with Nordell’s versatile and responsive development team, led by Paul Rowe. Ours is a complex product and they have been able to offer creative and innovative solutions for its manufacture.
I have worked with Nordell over many years on different products and industries. Nordell’s support on initial design input to delivery components, has been invaluable in achieving project timescales and deliverables. Knowledgeable staff, who proactively highlight areas for improvement, whether design or costs savings. Supporting development of components to tight timescales.
I have had the pleasure and benefit of Nordell as a provider of custom moulded parts and subassemblies for 30 years, across several of my businesses.
They have continually expanded and evolved their services to ensure they can provide a comprehensive offering and competitive market position that embraces added value and design for manufacture at the front end of all new projects.
Nordell's product quality and customer demand driven response is world class, and underwritten with a great 'can-do' attitude throughout the company.
An extended part of our team. Nordell have always been a fantastic team to work with. Their customer care and technical support is excellent. They don't just tell you what you want to hear, they challenge designs and interrogate the purpose of the product to ensure it is the right fit for the market, essentially becoming an extended part of the team.
