a consumer, I always look for the highest quality, the greatest value
products and services, with the best support that I can afford. As a
small business owner I believe in providing the same thing for our
customers. The reason that Norway Labs has continued to grow, the reason
we have been in business for 10 years, is because of these values. Our
success has come from investing in the tools, the people and the
training, fueled with our passion for what we do. These values will
always be our competitive advantage. So announcing that Norway Labs has
been officially registered as a small, woman-owned business doesn’t
seem very newsworthy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What
does this change mean for Norway Labs? Doilies in all of our
shipping? Scented invoices? No. For Norway Labs, it’s business as
usual. So then, I can hear you ask, why did you do it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For
our government customers and the large primes we are proud to serve, we
hope this move is another in a series that helps make doing business
with Norway Labs just that much easier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Norway
Labs is proud to continue its 10-year tradition of quality, value and
great customer service. Please let us know what we can do for you to
make working with us easier.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the Test & Measurement world, budget tightening
has been a common theme that doesn’t seem to go away. We hear it from
our customers daily that their budgets have been reduced or frozen, or
that their capital dollars have dried up. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="Normal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It spans over industries from aerospace to military
& defense, on over to energy & utilities, and back to
electronics. It can be exhausting. Whether we like it or not (read:
nightmares about your boss knotting the noose), the pressure to
keep at or below budget is a constant pressure that most likely will be
our reality for some time. </span></div>

Norway Labs as we celebrate our 10th anniversary in business. Thank you
to our over 500 customers that have kept us growing every year! You are
the lifeblood of our company and why we love doing what we do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last year we added 3 new employees
and repaired almost 900 instruments. We've doubled in size in just the
past 4 years and if we keep up this pace we will need to look for even
more lab space by the end of the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For 2013 we have lowered the repair
prices on our highest running products as a way to say “thank you” for
your business. We have also increased our NIST calibration capabilities
to 25GHz for oscilloscopes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our experience, expertise and state
of the art equipment has allowed us to offer fixed prices on many of the
instruments that we service including the highest performing
oscilloscopes. We offer no cost, no risk evaluations and a 90-day
warranty on all of our work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Compare our prices. Compare our
warranty. Compare our quality. Compare our customer service and you'll
see why over 500 customers have trusted Norway Labs for their T&M
repairs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I could have never imagined that the little business that Matt and I started in our basement repairing electronic equipment would still be going after 10 years. Moreover, that this business would continue to grow out of our basement and into >5,000 sq. feet of office space and employ over 15 people. We finished our best year ever and I'm excited what the next 10 years will bring! Happy New Year from our "family" to yours! </span><br />
