Carmo Case Study - NorLense

Carmo Case Study - NorLense

Carmo & Flexible Reinforcements

Partnering with Carmo A/S as their UK Technical Distributor, means that we not only get to supply great products but we also align ourselves with a forward thinking & ecologically responsible business.
We love knowing that we are supplying our customers with the very best and latest product offerings, ensuring that all this is done with a responsible & forward thinking approach.
Today I wanted to share some information about Norwegian company NORLENSE and show how they have worked with Carmo products to ensure their oil booms (used primarily in the clean up oil spillages) and emergency inflatable shelters, used across the globe in extreme temperatures, have benefitted from Carmo's range of products.

Here is an interview with Geir Sørensen, Managing Director at NorLense. 

Who are Norlense?

NorLense manufacture products used offshore, in snow and in the desserts. The products are designed and produced in order to function without being adversely affected by the environment. In Carmo, they found a supplier with products living up to their high standards.

They are a leading Norwegian manufacturer of oil booms used for oil spill recovery in rough weather around the worldwide, as well as manufacturing inflatable tents and shelters, which are used for emergency hospitals, refugee camps and military purposes.

Our products are used in extreme climates and conditions all over the world, they are designed to withstand the massive effects from storms, ice, snow, and salt water as well as extreme heat and sand.

We are very pleased with the quality of Carmo’s products, which meet all the requirements we have.”

Geir Sørensen, Managing Director at NorLense

Making our products easy to handle

Another key parameter, besides the high quality that Carmo offer, is that their products must be easy to handle in all conditions. Geir Sørensen explains:

“We have designed all our products to be easy to handle. Therefore, our oil booms can be operated by one person and our inflatable tents are also easy to deploy and take down after use. In order to achieve this, we have integrated components that support this goal in the design stages. We use a wide range of components from Carmo such as line supports, handles, cleats and eyelets in our products. Carmo’s components play a vital part in making our products easy to handle.”

A robust business partner

NorLense has existed since 1975 and have proven their resilience. This is also important for NorLense when looking at their suppliers. 

“We are interested in long-term partnerships with our suppliers. Therefore, it is important for us that our suppliers run a robust business and that they are located in stable and democratic countries. Carmo has been an important partner for NorLense for more than 20 years. Carmo's location in Denmark brings a security to our partnership. Reliability, short delivery times and smooth communication. All of these factors are of great value to NorLense.”
