Perfekt Samspill: The Relationship Between NorDan's Aberdeen Office and Norwegian Factory
In the realm of business, distance can often seem like a barrier. However, for NorDan UK, the physical gap between our Aberdeen office and our Norwegian factory presents an opportunity for collaboration and growth.
To enhance efficiency and streamline operations, we’ve decided to direct the majority of orders from our Aberdeen office to our Norwegian factory for fulfilment. This change, rooted in our shared history and commitment to excellence, highlights our ability to support each other and adapt as needed.
Although Aberdeen and Norway may appear far apart on the map, modern transportation and communication bridge this distance, enabling seamless collaboration. Our teams work closely together, sharing knowledge and expertise to ensure a smooth transfer of products and operations.
Both Aberdeen and Norway experience similar harsh weather conditions, fostering a mutual understanding of the need for durable, weather-resistant products. At NorDan, our commitment to quality is evident in every window and door we produce, designed to excel in challenging environments and earning GSB Sea Proof Plus certification.
The Norwegian phrase ‘Perfekt Samspill,’ which translates to ‘Perfect Interaction,’ defines our approach and is demonstrated in the relationship between our Aberdeen office and Norwegian factory. This partnership ensures efficient processes, mutual support, and innovation. Navigating regional challenges together strengthens our confidence, knowing we have a trusted partner every step of the way.
Rune Lie, Export Manager, and Trond Magnar, Managing Director, in Norway commented: "NorDan has had a presence in Aberdeen since 1982. Initially selling to a local window supplier to strengthen our position in the Scottish market, we took over this business in 2007. Our aim was not only to become the sole supplier but also to solidify our market position in Scotland."
"We look forward to being a strong supplier to the Aberdeen market. This collaboration excites us, and we are inspired by the ambition of the Aberdeen team. We are confident that both Aberdeen and NorDan AS will benefit from each other's expertise and experience in securing future orders and projects. We wish Aberdeen and NorDan UK the best of luck in achieving their goals in 2024 and look forward to our continued cooperation."
Nicola Webster, Regional Manager in Aberdeen, comments: "In 2023, NorDan Aberdeen and NorDan AS formed an alliance to support our Norwegian factories by moving production from Poland during a slow period in the Scandinavian market. This decision was advantageous for both parties. Geographically, Aberdeen is well positioned to collaborate closely with NorDan AS, with just a 1-hour flight between the two locations. Additionally, there is a long-standing relationship between the two businesses, with Aberdeen being the first UK location to sell NorDan products back in 1982."
"Since making the change last year, our teams across logistics, R&D, sales, planning, operations, and customer service have collaborated to ensure a smooth transition for both customers and internal teams. Working more closely with our colleagues in Norway has been a pleasure, and the process has been eased by our shared willingness to collaborate and achieve 'Perfekt Samspill.'"
"Due to the renewed bond between Aberdeen and Norway, we recently completed our first customer sales trip to the Norwegian factories in many years. The trip was a great success, with outstanding feedback from our customers. This success is due to our state-of-the-art factory facilities, the rich history of our brand, and the outstanding hospitality provided by our colleagues in Norway. With our joint venture off to a great start, we look forward to continued collaboration and working closely with our friends in Norway to achieve our shared goals for a long time to come."
