Noratel expanded to Charlotte because of good infrastructure with an international airport, an attractive business environment, a convenient time zone to Europe, reasonable living costs and proximity to many of their customers’ headquarters.

Noratel’s Charlotte office will provide sales and technical support services with the possibility of local stocking. In the next phase, the company will consider production within the U.S.

The Charlotte Chamber and North Carolina Department of Commerce assisted Noratel with expansion planning.
