TULSA, OK – October 9, 2024 – Norrhydro Ltd, a leading hydraulic cylinder manufacturer in Rovaniemi, Finland, and Aberdeen Dynamics, a motion and control solutions provider in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, have announced an exclusive partnership to bring the NorrDigi® MCC technology to the U.S. oil and gas market by the end of 2024. This strategic alliance will combine Norrhydro’s inventive multi-chamber hydraulic cylinder design and digital control systems with Aberdeen’s fifty years of experience in the oil and gas industry.
Under the terms of this multi-year agreement, Norrhydro’s innovative NorrDigi® MCC system will be available in the U.S. oil and gas market exclusively through Aberdeen Dynamics. The patented system was tested and validated at a test rig in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the Spring of 2024. Compared to conventional hydraulics, work cycle times improved by 50% in onshore oil rig pipe lifting applications, demonstrating excellent maneuverability and soft end-cushioning. The NorrDigi® MCC technology is designed for energy recovery and improved movement control. When adopted at scale, it will significantly boost productivity and enhance safety in drill rig operations.
“This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both companies,” said Mike Spanier, President at Aberdeen Dynamics. “We are confident that our combined strengths will deliver exceptional benefits to our customers.”
This collaboration positions Aberdeen Dynamics as the sole distributor of Norrhydro in the U.S. oil and gas market, allowing Aberdeen to offer exclusive state-of-the-art hydraulic solutions to its customers. For Norrhydro, this partnership expands their market reach using Aberdeen’s established sales presence in the United States. Aberdeen also offers engineering and design support, oil and gas experience, and a single location for project phases and customer service.
“The ability to launch NorrDigi® MCC in partnership with Aberdeen offers many advantages, including local presence and engineering support in the U.S. market,” said Yrjö Trög, CEO of Norrhydro. “We see great potential in the U.S. market once we get our foot in the door.”
Norrhydro is a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality and energy-efficient hydraulic cylinders and a pioneer in digital hydraulics. Aberdeen Dynamics is a trusted motion and control solutions provider focused on exceptional customer service, engineering, and product availability. Both companies share a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, making this partnership a perfect fit.
The two companies will work closely to provide necessary support and integration. This cooperation ensures that the NorrDigi® MCC system is effectively introduced and supported in new markets, driving increased adoption and customer satisfaction. As Norrhydro and Aberdeen Dynamics combine strengths, they are set to bring about a new standard in the industry with advanced, high-quality, and innovative cylinders.
