IMI Norgren

Norgren, founded in 1927 and now operating as IMI Norgren within IMI plc's critical engineering group, is one of the oldest and most established pneumatics brands in the English-speaking industrial world. Headquartered in the United Kingdom with manufacturing across Europe, the Americas and Asia, the company supplies motion and fluid control components into rail, commercial vehicles, food and beverage, life sciences, energy and general automation. Its range includes ISO air cylinders, compact actuators, directional control valves and valve islands with integrated electronics, air preparation and FRL units, pressure switches, vacuum products, and specialty fluid control for rail braking and truck systems. Norgren's Excelon and Bimba-acquired product lines (IMI acquired the American Bimba brand) extend its reach into compact actuation for machinery builders. In valve automation, Norgren components commonly provide the pilot and control layer for pneumatic quarter-turn packages in water, food and process plants. The brand is valued for broad distribution availability, consistent documentation, and the engineering support culture inherited from IMI's long industrial history.
