Our History

Norgren Global Vehicle Technologies (GVT) was formed in 2006, as a new unit of the global Norgren Group, in order to focus on the Commercial Vehicles Sector. This occured shortly after the purchase of GT Development Corporation in 2005, a specialist in pneumatic and electronic control solutions. Today, we provide fluid and motion control solutions for Powertrain, Chassis and Light Vehicle applications to all major commercial vehicle manufacturers as well as Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.

 

With operations across Europe, Asia, USA, and South America, and as part of the Global Norgren Group, we are able to work on a global scale and can give our customers the reassurance of dealing with an established global supplier that has the financial strength, security and knowledge that a global workforce can provide.

Today, we are well positioned to meet the demands of the Global Commercial Vehicle Sector. Following a successful reorganization of our group where our financial, engineering, business development and manufacturing capabilities were realigned, three main Competence Centers were created. Our Headquarters in Seattle Washington, USA, is our center for innovation and Chassis solutions. Our main manufacturing and sales office in Bristol, England is focusing on innovations and solutions for Light Vehicles. Within the Stuttgart region of Germany, our manufacturing and sales offices is focusing on innovations and solutions for Powertrain.
