Nordisk Aviation
Products is a 100% subsidiary of the Norsk
Hydro Group, one of the large, globally acting
industrial conglomerates listed on the world's
leading stock exchanges (NYSE: NORSK). Hydro's
core business sectors are light metals,
plastics, oil and natural gas, agricultural
fertilizers and industrial chemicals.
Nordisk Aviation Products
(NAP) was founded in Norway in 1972. The
company has developed, manufactured and
marketed air freight pallets since 1972 and
air freight containers since 1978.
Whatever required, NAP can
always be relied upon to provide a first-class
service, be it ULD repair and maintenance or
financing alternatives like capital leases,
operational leases and rental of ULDs. NAP
caters to every technical and commercial
requirement with its product offering of
pallets and the two container concepts (welded
and mechanically assembled). NAP provides at
its service stations maintenance for any
competitor ULDs, too. Furthermore, a
substantial array of maintenance contracts
from "material + time" to "lease maintenance"
at a fixed rate per container, any variation
NAP provides taylormade to the customers
requirements.
Nordisk Aviation
Products has been at the forefront in the
design, development and manufacture of air
cargo containers for almost 30 years.
For example, it was Nordisk
who in 1975 invented the world's first hollow
edge pallets - an industry breakthrough in
weight reduction. And once again in 1983,
Nordisk, together with British Airways,
increased usable lower deck volumes with the
world's first full width lower deck container.
Right from the start, Nordisk has set the industry's standards for
manufacturing quality. Nowhere is this more
important than in our uncompromising approach
to material selection. We are the only
manufacturer to specify AA7000-series alloys
for all our ULDs, guaranteeing the industry's
highest standards for strength and durability.
And we're now in the forefront in our use of
polycarbonates and new composite materials.
Nordisk's legendary welded modular panel construction has
proven itself for over 25 years - in
continuous operations with almost every major
airline in the world. Powerful evidence that
Nordisk containers and pallets provide the
optimum combination of low weight, high
strength, and inexpensive maintenance needed
to achieve the lowest possible lifetime cost.
