Noratel chooses Charlotte for U.S. headquarters

Noratel North America Inc, a Europe-based transformer manufacturer,
has located its U.S. headquarters in Charlotte. The new location will

For more than 86 years, Noratel has been producing transformers in one
form or another. What began as a local manufacturer of radios and
loudspeaker systems is today an international group of 16 companies in
12 countries with more than 2,300 employees. Noratel is a global
supplier for transformers and reactors, has worldwide sales of
approximately $140 million and offices located in Europe, Asia and now
North America.

The firm's products include 1-phase transformers and reactors (water
and fan cooled); 3-phase transformers and reactors (water and fan
cooled); Toroidal transformers and chokes (water and fan cooled); HF
transformers, medical power supplies, DC power supplies, current
transformers, aeronautical ground lighting series transformers and
unit assembly services. You may click the following link for product

Noratel expanded to Charlotte because of good infrastructure with an
international airport, an attractive business environment, a
convenient time zone to Europe, reasonable living costs and proximity
to many of their customers' headquarters.

Noratel's Charlotte office will provide sales and technical support
services with the possibility of local stocking. In the next phase,
the company will consider production within the U.S.

The Charlotte Chamber and North Carolina Department of Commerce
assisted Noratel with expansion planning.
