About Nordell
Using real-time production data from the shop floor to expand and thrive
With a history dating back to 1968, Nordell has established itself as one of the UK’s leading independent plastics manufacturing companies. Nordell is the largest user of DELMIAWorks in Europe and the first to have real-time monitoring in their production, assembly and finishing departments.
Beginning of a business transformation
DELMIAWorks' key role in delivering ‘unparalleled operational excellence’ through technological innovation.
Real-time data at the centre of growth
Access to a common source of data has enabled Nordell to scale and double their production.
Production matched to customer demand
Has helped deliver greater efficiency, reduce lead times and deliver more efficiently.
"DELMIAWorks has allowed us to break through ceilings. We’ve been able to scale up the business using a common point of data, practice and real-time monitoring to nearly double what we were able to achieve in a day. In many cases we have found that the concentration on producing what we need to, when we need to and the demand replenishment programmes that the real-time facilities within DELMIAWorks we’ve been able to show free capacity that we weren’t able to see prior to its introduction and adoption."

Driving operational improvements
Real-time data helps reduce production costs
With DELMIAWorks, Nordell no longer considers itself an injection-moulder, but a true manufacturing business. It has given Nordell company-wide access to real-time plant floor information enabling them to, amongst other things, reduce costs by monitoring reject rates and reacting instantly to correct under performing jobs by servicing tools or adjusting systems or settings.
Near doubling production
Scaling and managing manufacturing production across two continents
DELMIAWorks real-time monitoring capabilities have helped Nordell scale production significantly. By concentrating on manufacturing what is needed, when it is needed combined with demand replenishment in DELMIAWorks powered by data, Nordell has been able to identify spare capacity within their operation despite it being over two plants 9,000 miles apart.
"Nordell as a business is no longer an injection moulding business, it is a true manufacturing business. We believe we now have a system which is a true manufacturing system that can cater for the expanding assembly operations, the complex procurement that we have in place and the overseas interaction and the part that plays in it. So the system appears to have no boundaries."
