Nicky Vyvey new managing director NORD BeLux

I also look back particularly fondly on the years I worked at our German headquarters. In recent years I have mainly been active internationally, building strong ties with our international customers and subsidiaries."

"The NORD organization has weathered the corona crisis well and is experiencing strong growth. NORD BeLux is no exception. Our products respond well to the questions and needs of our customers. Whereas in the past the focus was mainly on the product, today the emphasis is increasingly on offering a total solution. Intra-logistics is a good example of this. For this, we offer complete drive solutions from geared motors and controls on or off the motor. The latest development is our DuoDrive, an innovative combination of a highly efficient IE5+ motor and a gearbox in one housing, also in a hygienic "washdown" design. Combined with our new NORDAC ON frequency inverters, this allows users to realize significant savings in energy consumption and maintenance, and by reducing the number of variants."

"A second important development is the ever-increasing digitization. Not only of our products, through networking and "the Internet of Things," but also of the tools we offer our customers. Think of myNORD, our online configurator, with which users can compile, order and track drives themselves. And soon also our online spare-parts shop, with which parts for our drives can be ordered 24/7 worldwide."

"In addition, I would like to draw attention to our industrial MAXXDRIVE XT gearboxes which have been specially developed for heavy-duty applications in bulk and material handling. This is an important product for NORD BeLux, as many users are active in storage and handling, for example in our large ports. The great advantage of the MAXXDRIVE XT is that it combines high torques of up to 75,000 Nm with high thermal power, without the need for forced oil cooling. That makes this drive ideal for heavy-duty applications."

"NORD BeLux works for an interesting mix of customers. On the one hand, we supply machine builders who incorporate our products in their own machines and installations, and also end users in a wide variety of industries. In addition, we work with several strong partners and distributors in Belgium and Luxembourg."

"As a supplier of high-quality products, we have all the knowledge we need to best serve customers with complex technical questions. We strive for reliable delivery times and do everything we can to satisfy our customers."

"With the surge in demand, our organization is also growing rapidly. Before the end of the year, we hope to hire two new employees. One of these we have already found and we are still looking for an inside sales representative. With a strong organization and the recent post-Corona resurgence, I see the future of our company extremely positive."
