NORMA Group defends patented joining technology against Chinese competitor

 

Maintal, Germany, September 25, 2024 – NORMA Group, a market leader in engineered joining technology, has won a patent lawsuit it had filed against a Chinese competitor. The Supreme People’s Court in Beijing ruled at the end of June 2024 that a product from Suzhou Shengnuo Connection Technology Co. Ltd (“Shengnuo”) infringes on a NORMA Group patent for an advanced worm-drive hose clamp. The competitor has been prohibited from manufacturing or selling this clamp. Shengnuo must also pay damages to NORMA Group. The verdict is final.

CEO Guido Grandi: “Our decades of experience and development expertise give us a competitive edge and represent key success factors. We use patents to protect our innovations and safeguard our intellectual property. The outcome of the patent infringement proceedings sought by us secures our current and future business with advanced joining technology.”

NORMA Group’s patented clamp is a worm-drive hose clamp for pre-positioning the clamp on a hose. This PreFix system consists of two prepositioner elements that are used to pre-position the clamp at the exact point on a hose where the connection to a spigot or pipe is to be closed later. This feature is used, for example, when hose systems are stored or transported before final assembly. Prepositioning also makes assembly in engine compartments and other confined spaces much easier. NORMA Group engineers developed the clamp to make assembly as simple, quick and safe as possible. NORMA Group has been offering the clamp under the name TORRO® PreFix System since 2007.

Dr. Gerrit von Breitenbach, Global Head of Technology and Innovation: “Our joining components, which can sometimes be unimposing at first glance, are absolutely crucial for the function of a machine or a vehicle. We deliver added value for our customers with innovative development efforts. In addition to high-quality products, we focus on ease of installation, because fast installation times save both time and money for our customers in the manufacturing industry.”

NORMA Group manufactures the clamp with the PreFix feature in Changzhou, China, for customers in Asia and in Maintal, Germany, for customers in Europe and America. Every year, the company delivers several million of these clamps to various global customers.

ODDO BHF Small & MIDCAP MORNING NEWS - 11/05/2024

European equity markets weakened in October following multiple disappointments across the earnings season. The impending US election, the outcome of which is highly uncertain according to the polls, may also have prompted some traders to adopt a cautious stance. Sovereign long rates rose sharply, particularly in the US, on the back of macro indicators likely to provide arguments to the most hawkish of central bankers. All eyes are now on the November 5 elections and their repercussion...

Les marchés actions européens ont fléchi en octobre après les nombreuses déceptions sur la saison des résultats. L’approche de l’élection US, très incertaine selon les sondages, pourrait également avoir poussé à la prudence certains opérateurs. Les taux longs souverains ont nettement remonté, en particulier aux Etats-Unis, sur la base d’indicateurs macro susceptibles de donner des arguments aux plus faucons des banquiers centraux. Tous les yeux sont désormais rivés sur le scrutin du 5...
