Stabilization of Customer Backlog
The customer backlog stabilized as of March 31, 2025, compared to the end of 2024, with a robust pipeline of customer quote opportunities.
North American Footprint Strength
Nortech's North American footprint, specifically the Monterrey maquiladora operations and Minnesota facilities, positions the company well under the framework of the USMCA, reducing direct exposure to tariffs.
Strategic Realignment and Cost Management
Significant actions were undertaken to reduce the cost structure, including the closure of the Blue Earth facility and reduction of headquarters lease space. The restructuring is expected to improve long-term EBITDA generation.
Increased Engineering Opportunities
Opportunities to help customers with Nortech engineering services and near-shoring activities are increasing due to tariff uncertainties.
Innovative Product Developments
Nortech announced advancements like the Expanded Beam Xtreme (EBX) and Active Optical Xtreme (AOX) technologies, enhancing digital data transmission speed, reliability, and security.
