NORMA Group has won a contract to supply V-band clamps for an energy storage facility in Germany. From summer 2024 until the end of 2028, the Group will supply between 30,000 and 180,000 clamps per year to the customer. The contract has a total volume of around EUR 2.4 million.
The customer is a market leading provider of flexible metal tubes who will install the clamps at the facility’s cooling system. The facility will store electricity in large stationary batteries and is intended to mitigate overloads or bottlenecks of wind energy supply in a power transmission network. NORMA’s VPP Bi-Cone clamp was developed in 2019 as an efficient connection for metal tubes. This special V-band clamp connects two conical flanges to create a leak-tight joint.
Guido Grandi, CEO of NORMA Group, states: “Due to the irregular availability of wind and solar energy, stationary energy storage is becoming more and more important in the transition towards renewable energy. We strive to expand our business in energy-storage applications and thus contribute to a reliant and resilient supply of energy. Our high level of innovative strength combined with established quality standards make us an ideal partner for critical infrastructure projects.”
