Norican Group Daily Operations Update

At Norican, our globally located offices, manufacturing and distribution centres are following regional governmental advice, while aiming to keep our operations running as smoothly as possible. Our main priority is safety.

We will continue to work with utmost rigour in adopting safe practices to protect our employees, customers, business partners and their families, and to comply with measures prescribed by relevant government authorities while also working to ensure operational continuity. 

The situation is changing daily, with one region facing stricter restrictions on movement, while other regions are opening back up. We can’t predict what will happen over the coming days, weeks and months, but we can promise that we will be here to support you.

We aim to keep this page updated on a regular basis, to keep you informed.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
We hope that you stay safe.

Shaping Industry - and keeping the wheels of industry turning

Many governments around the world have imposed restrictions to movement, and most office-based Norican staff are working from home. Our global software network could easily support this, and we thank our IT teams for diligently working to get everyone the hardware and connectivity needed to make the transition as smooth as possible.

We will continue to be available and strive to support your business at distance or virtually. Our support teams will look for the best available alternative options to perform maintenance services or technical support remotely. We ask our customers to ensure a safe working environment with adequate social distancing for our colleagues. Also, please tell us if you are expecting deliveries, but are unable to receive them.
