Customer Success Stories

Advanced Steel Building Systems    

Advanced Steel Building Systems in Salt Lake City specializes in pre-fabricated building systems, structural steel, steel fabrication and metal building insulation. 

Problem:  To establish in-house manufacturing to better control production as well as a desire to grow their business through custom offerings, both of which needed to be accomplished on a budget.

Solution:  After an onsite visit, demonstration and collaboration with the NorTECH staff, it was determined an Arclight cutting table with a Hypertherm plasma cutter would be the best, most cost effective solution.

Doppelmayr U.S.     

As the quality, technology and market leader in ropeway engineering, Doppelmayr operates production plants around the world with their US headquarters located in Salt Lake City.

Problem:  To be able to fixture a vast number of pieces, they needed something mobile and needed as a solution as quickly as possible.

Solution:  The Doppelmayr team reached out to Norco. Being able to see a live demo at the NorTECH facility, they were confident an ALM  Headstock/Tailstock Positioner  would be the right solution.

By taking delivery directly from the NorTECH facility, Doppelmayr had the quick solution they needed to meet their fixture needs. Along with increased productivity through the ability to use limitless positioner configurations.

Interwest Supply    

Interwest Supply in Caldwell Idaho, provides design, supply and construction services in water resource related agricultural, industrial, and municipal projects throughout the Northwest.

Problem:  When a fire devastated the Interwest welding shop they suffered a complete loss of their shop equipment.

Solution:  With a brand new Marvel Mark 8 II bandsaw on site at NorTECH there was no doubt we could quickly get them what they needed. Norco was also able to quickly fulfill their full welding shop order too.

With a new, complete shop up and running, Interwest was able to resume business and with full production in gear, they are seeing major operational efficiencies as a result of their modern and efficient shop equipment .

Canyon Owyhee School Service Agency  

The COSSA Career-Technical School in Wilder, Idaho (COSSA) is a public school cooperative serving the special education, gifted/talented, career and technical, and alternative education needs of area students by offering training programs that result in industry certifications, giving graduates an employment edge after high school. 

Problem: The director of the COSSA Welding and Metal Fab program knew he needed to replace his current ironworker with the latest Marvel Spartan MSIW 71. But the price had to be as economical as possible to meet educational budgetary constraints.

Solution: COSSA purchased their new ironworker through NorTECH, and Norco staff was able to connect them with a tech school in Montana interested in buying their current ironworker. 

Allowing both schools to provide the industry’s future workforce with skills necessary to succeed. Plus, stretching the COSSA budget a bit further and getting them the equipment they needed.
