Why not a single day goes by without new pastilles
In 1967, norament’s pastille floor coverings began their march to victory. Around the world, 33 million square meters have been sold and installed to date. The small pastilles are 0.5 millimeters high – altogether, the covering is four millimeters thick. The normal tile format is 1,004 x 1,004 millimeters.
How a man named Nürnberger paved the way to success
A good 510,000 people can claim to be citizens of Nuremberg. But there was one man, a chemist with a PhD called Walter, who was named Nürnberger. Today he is remembered as the developer of the formula for rubber that has made nora systems so successful. In Latin, Nürnberger is “Norimbergensis,” and this is where the brand name comes from.The role that a shoe’s sole played at the very beginning
It was a pioneering step, the footprint that started it all and continues to pave the way to suc-cess today: the first chapter in the company’s history was written in 1938, with the production of shoe soles. Building on this experience, eleven years later the production of rubber floor coverings began.
Why the pastilles are not only – but quite often – gray
The pastilled covering norament 926 is available in approximately 20 standard colors, as well as in customized special colors. But one thing that has not changed in 50 years is that black and gray have remained trendy colors, and above all stone gray and platinum gray. These have been leading the “Made in Weinheim” greatest hits list since the first hour, and they continue to do so today. That is why many, but not all, of the pastilles in the world are gray, gray, and gray again.What elephants have to do with the little round pastilles
They are the largest living land animals. Each of them weighs about a ton. 1,200 of these big gray leviathans roughly equal in weight the pressure used to compress norament floor cover-ings during production. More pressure? Almost impossible. Simply animal-strength.

The reason why even in soccer there is no way past the round nubs
Tens of thousands of fans, week after week: in many stadiums, there’s always something go-ing on – and not just when it comes to the game. The turf has to be in top condition for the players – and so do the floor coverings around it. No wonder, then, that the operators of flag-ship projects like Allianz Arena in Munich or Rand Stadium in Johannesburg put their trust in the pastilles from Weinheim.

Why the little round pastilles are made for all sizes
Customized Solutions. This English term has long since become part of our language. Tailor-made solutions are no strangers to the pastilles. To the contrary. Customer-specific, individ-ually tailored norament floor coverings can be realized for areas of 800 square meters or more. Upper limits? None. Take, for example, Koenig & Bauer AG. Approximately 90,000 square meters of nora pastilles were installed at this traditional German company. They also decided to go with the classic stone-gray.
