Local business success story - Nordell
Regretfully, a lot of local & national business’s have had a really challenging year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Nordell are a local Worthing business that has also been impacted as many of our customers have seen their sales decline; however we have adapted, and are now set for growth in a new market sector. We are currently recruiting an additional 10 roles locally to our current 80 strong team.
Nordell is a privately owned injection moulding business based in Dominion Way, Worthing. Nordell have been injection moulding specialist plastic parts for over 50 years that are used in many well know brands and highly specialised sectors.
As a manufacturing company they continued to manufacture through the pandemic (as they were making essential parts for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors) and did not need to furlough staff. They immediately implemented measures to safeguard the team at work whilst those that could worked from home.
They have seen some of our large customers historical business decline as a result of Covid-19 which has impacted their like for like turnover.
Nordell have adapted by very quickly, seizing an opportunity to manufacture critical parts for the medical sector; parts used directly to fight Covid-19. These parts need to be produced in a Cleanroom, which Nordell didn’t have. Nordell took VERY rapid decisions to invest over £350K in new machinery and a cleanroom to meet the demand and will be operational within a few weeks. It has taken less than 8 weeks from concept to manufacture.
They employ 80 people in the local Worthing area. To meet the increased demand they will be employing a further 10 roles to increase the team to 90 (+12.5%)
