NORMA Group products bring Formula 1 teams up to speed

Maintal/Germany, Newbury/United Kingdom, 19 April 2016 - NORMA Group, a
global market leader in engineered joining technology, provides several
Formula 1 teams from all over the world with various types of joining
products, including NORMAQUICK plastic quick connectors, NORMACLAMP TORRO
hose clamps and NORMAFIX RSGU retaining clips. The products are used in
racing cars to connect fuel lines, other systems located inside the engine
compartment, and in exhaust gas turbochargers.

Formula 1 cars deliver maximum performance. These racing cars accelerate
from 0 to more than 300 kilometres per hour in less than 9 seconds. This
creates acceleration forces of up to 5G, five times the force of gravity.
The engines deliver around 800 HP at approx. 17,500 rpm. The racing cars
are made of high-strength carbon fibre composites, among other materials,
and weigh about 500 kilogrammes. Around two kilometres of cable runs
through these vehicles.

"Joining products must be manufactured precisely to meet the extreme
requirements in motor racing in order to be able to withstand the high
tensile forces and temperatures and yet reduce weight," explains Werner
Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group. "The fact that our connectors and metal clamps
are used by various Formula 1 teams shows that our products are of
extremely high quality, conductive and reliable."

NORMAQUICK plastic quick connectors are suited for connecting media
carrying cooling water and heating pipes, but also for use in fuel and
charged air systems. The compact design of these connectors allows them to
be used in limited installation space. NORMACLAMP TORRO hose clamps are
specially designed for high mechanical loads and connect pipes of all kinds
without allowing any leakage. NORMAFIX RSGU retaining clips attach lines,
hoses and cables.
