What NORO does
NORO Gesellschaft für Rohrsysteme mbH is a privately held German manufacturer of modular piping and distribution systems for bulk material conveying and industrial ventilation. The company was formed in 1997 through the merger of MT Metallbau Twistringen GmbH (founded 1983) and a sales entity (founded 1987), and is headquartered in Rehden, Lower Saxony, with approximately 100 employees. Operations are conducted through a wholly-owned manufacturing subsidiary in Gniewkowo, Poland (NORO SYSTEMY RUROWE Sp. z.o.o., established 2011) and a sales subsidiary in Velikiy Novgorod, Russia (OOO NORO, established 2012).
NORO's product portfolio centers on a standardized modular system of pipes, bends, branch pieces, transitions, inspection components, pipe brakes, blow-out organs, shut-off and control valves, flap boxes, and rotary distributor heads, manufactured in steel (powder-coated or galvanized, 1-3 mm) and stainless steel (shot-blasted, 1-2 mm) across a diameter range of 80-710 mm. The offering is differentiated by in-house surface treatment (powder coating, hot-dip galvanizing per DIN EN ISO 1461, ferrite-free stainless steel shot blasting) and optional add-on modules including Kryptane polyurethane wear protection, ATEX-certified explosion protection (Zone 22), FDA and EC 1935/2004 food-grade compliance, flange piping, and potential equalization systems. Notable product-level engineering includes ATEX-compliant servo-motor-driven rotary distributor heads launched in 2022 and Linak-driven silo outlet gates for dosing applications.
The commercial model is sales-led, with five Key Account Managers handling direct enterprise inquiries from Rehden and a network of more than 30 independent sales partners covering 30+ countries across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Oceania. Distribution combines direct sales, an online shop (shop.noro-rohre.de/en) for standard items, and partner-led international sales. Pricing is catalog-driven with project-specific quoting, and the company is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN ISO 14001:2015. End markets span food, animal feed, plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, recycling, and automotive ventilation/air extraction.
