In 1997 the company was launched in Bratislava with two employees as a subsidiary of Getriebebau NORD GmbH. With openness to the customers’ needs and honesty it evolved into a company with today’s eight employees, three branch offices throughout Slovakia and a total turnover of 4.3 million EUR in 2015. 

In 2001 a second office was founded in Ružomberok, and this year marked a record turnover. Just one year later the third sales office for the East of Slovakia was opened in Košice. NORD-Pohony offers the whole support and service range of NORD DRIVESYSTEMS and serves a couple of long-term top clients with high turnover like KPK, Drevoindustria, Strojstav, Kabelschlepp, Konštrukta and Premetal.

A celebration for the anniversary took place in the Elizabeth hotel in Tren?ín on October 20th 2017. Among the invitees were customers, the directors of NORD subsidiaries in Austria, Czech Republic and Hungary as well as NORD Drivesystems CEO Ullrich Küchenmeister.

NORD-Pohony’s director Jozef Královi? is optimistic to make NORD-Pohony even more successful in the next 20 years due to faith in his employees and their experience as well as the level of the expert support provided to the customers.
