ABOUT THE WEB SHOP

Why can I not buy in the web shop?


The web shop is divided into a public and a protected area (login required). In the public area all visitors can see our product portfolio and the corresponding product information. However, placing orders is only possible in the protected area (with login).
The protected area is exclusively available for customers of NORMA Distribution Center GmbH in Marsberg and Groen Bevestigingsmaterialen. After logging in, our customers can call up their individual prices, view availabilities, place orders and use all service functions, such as repeat orders, quick orders or drop shipments.

I am already a customer. How can I place my orders in the web shop?


Please request your access data from us via the registration form. We will process your request as soon as possible and get back to you.

Why can't I buy your products as an end user?


NORMA Group is a manufacturer and our sales model provides for exclusive distribution via selected distributors. The task of our distributors is to offer you products in small packaging sizes with short delivery times and individual advice. This allows us to concentrate on our core competencies: developing the best fastening solutions and manufacturing them at the very highest quality level. That is why our web shop is exclusively aimed at distributors and industrial customers. However, we ask you to contact us if you want to know where you can buy our products.
