OUR STORY
'Moving The Earth For You' Since 1984
Since 1984, Norm Engineering has designed & built earthmoving attachments for mini loaders, skid steers, track loaders, excavators, backhoes, telehandlers and tractors. As an Australian manufacturer, Norm Engineering understands the tough Aussie environment and have built our buckets to withstand its harsh conditions.
Norm Engineering has the reliability you can build your business around. Norm Buckets are proven to be one of the most durable and reliable Earthmoving attachments in Australia. Thousands of earthmoving contractors Australia wide rely on Norm attachments. Why? Norm Engineering sets the new benchmark in the earthmoving attachment industry, with stronger materials, engineered for a longer life and enhanced reliability.
Most may think Norm Pesch started Norm Engineering. He didn’t. Norm’s father-in-law, Wally Acimovic began the business bearing his Son in Laws name when Norm was in the Royal Australian Air Force. Norm at the time was in charge of the engineering support section for the black hawk helicopters of nine squadron. However Wally, former owner and founder of Roswal Trailers, clearly had a premonition that one day Norm would want to leave his job and work for him. Luckily for Wally, that gamble paid off. Like most of the greatest success stories it started from very humble beginnings. Wally constructed the company’s inaugural bucket after being unhappy with the bucket that was on the front of his own skid steer. He started off with making one, then two, and then three. The rest, as they say, is history.
Norm has been at the helm of the business since 1999, when Wally and wife Rosa decided to move away from the business. Norm’s son, John, also works at Norm Engineering and will one day take over the family business. Over the past 20 years, John has worked his way through the business and in 2012 was appointed the role of General Manager. Like his dad, John’s passion is his family. John and his wife, Jessica, have three young sons, Ryan, 12, Lachlan, 10 and Michael, 1. Ryan, who is “12 going on 16”, has already shown an interest in the family business. “Any earthmoving equipment he just goes nuts for,” Norm says. We are extremely excited to announce that in 2022, Jessica has also joined the family business, working in Corporate Development and Strategy.
Norm Engineering’s’ established reputation as the leading 4-in-1 bucket manufacturer in Australia has been achieved through simply listening to customers and producing tough, quality-built products. As modern machines become increasingly more powerful, Norm Engineering targets the Australian market through stronger attachments that are more adaptable and can handle the demanding conditions.
