Company Overview

Nott Company is a leading and respected supplier of fluid power products and systems, industrial power transmission products and systems, and custom rubber fabricated products. Three operating Divisions specialize in these products and supply Nott's diversified market.

The general geographic area served by the Nott Company includes Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. However, Nott's manufacturing operations support customers in North America and all across the world.

History:

Nott Company was founded by William S. Nott in 1879. The company started business supplying leather drive belts made from animal hides for the milling and lumber industries using water power from St. Anthony's falls on the Mississippi River near what is now downtown Minneapolis. Other products evolved, from luggage, horse harnesses, leather dice cups, hand-drawn fire engines and steam pumps to motorized fire engines during the early 1900's.

About 1940, Nott Company shifted its business focus to include the distribution of industrial rubber products, power transmission products, material handling equipment and fire equipment. Today's Industrial Division continues to fabricate and distribute belting along with other power transmission products. Remnants of the old fire equipment distribution business can still be found in offices throughout the company -- aged copper fire extinguishers transformed into lamps!

Out of the rubber products distribution business, in 1961, grew another offshoot -- the Rubber Fabrication Division. This integral piece of our company manufactures finished rubber products as well as fabrication of component parts.

Another division was established in 1965, the Fluid Power Division. This growing business is a custom stocking distributor of components, assemblies and finished products and offers integrated power solutions to the needs of OEM and end user accounts.

From its modest beginnings, Nott Company today is organized into the three divisions named above and employs approximately 200 people in nine locations. We are an ESOP company, confident that our dedication to growth and change will carry us successfully into this new millenium.
