Dalen

The 5th of November, we had a English subject day. We had a presentation about a large local business with foucus on the use of english and international. Me, Andrea and Lars Henrik had a presantation about The Lid Jarnindustri in Dale.

The Lid jarindustri develop and manufacture all their products in Norheimsund, Hardanger.

1950:  During the 1950s Samon Lid received the Agency for Moto Standard. This was the result of a long-term develompent period for two-wheeled tractors.

1979:  Dalen was the first to introduce a two-speed log-splitter. The rapid traverse led to more effi-cient production of firewood, and is currently standard on all such equipment.

1984:  Lid Jarindustri of Norheimsund introduced the first firewood processor for series production. The mother of all their current firewood processors was called the 1254 and series production started in 1984!

1989:  In the late 1980s They launched Their first venture into asymmetric with the 0978.  With this venture, they announced a contest and invited                                                                                                                      their customers to guess who would copy them first!

1997:   In the late 90s they launched the first large tractor-mounted snowblower with an open auger.  Several manufacturers have tried to emulate their success with this principle, but so far with no luck!

2008:  Late in the first decade of the new millen-nium, they launched the first flared integral wing on rear tractor-mounted blade.  This flared wing made it possible to throw snow farther at higher speed.  This feature is now being imitated by their competitors!
The plate hall a-ccommo-dates modern laser cutting equipment. The machine produces parts with high accu-racy.  A large warehouse with a total of five storage shelves allows the machine to run un-attended, all day if necessary, stopping only for normal mainten-ance.  The laser cutting is rounded curves, that give Dalen machines the modern and cutting-edge look.

Lid Jarindustri is one of the very few companies in Norway to have retained a machining department in house.  In this department we find several robotic machining units for turning, drilling, and milling.  These machines are very accurate, provide high-quality..  The customized hardware department ensures that the company retains full-control over what is needed.
