Honoring The Norris Legacy: Pioneering Commitment in the Utility Equipment Industry
In the annals of the utility equipment industry, the Norris Legacy stands tall, its roots tracing back to the indomitable spirit of AC Norris in the 1930s. A legacy that embodies not just a business but a commitment to service, integrity, and the enduring power of familial values.
The Foundations Laid by Alton Claud “AC” Norris
The story begins with AC Norris, our CEO’s grandfather and a visionary whose far-reaching insights laid the foundation for what would become a three-generation commitment to excellence. AC's foresight, coupled with an unwavering dedication to understanding the industry's intricacies, became the cornerstone of the Norris legacy. His belief in doing more than the necessary, in truly knowing the business and the people within it, set the stage for the legacy that would follow.
Wayne King Norris: A Beacon of Passion and Perseverance
In the continuum of this legacy, Wayne King Norris emerged as a beacon of passion and perseverance. Wayne is father to Norris Utilities’ very own CEO, Aaron C. Norris. Wayne’s impact on the utility equipment industry was not just professional but deeply personal. Those who grew up watching him operate, throughout his 43 years in the industry, knew they were witnessing not just an expert in his field but a man of character, a rare breed willing to put in the work and make a lasting impact. His refusal to be swayed by life's uncertainties and his commitment to solving problems, no matter the effort required, became the bedrock upon which the Norris name stood. The guiding principle by which he lived his life and instilled in his children was, “Do the right thing… period.” That same maxim is personified today through Norris Utilities, as they promise to always do right by their customers, no matter the circumstances.
Ronnie Claude Norris: Continuity and Long-Standing Dedication
The legacy continued with Ronnie Claude Norris, a figure whose long-standing career in the industry mirrored the values instilled by his father, AC Norris. The commitment to service, the dedication to understanding the unique needs of utility businesses, and the unwavering integrity were not mere principles but a way of life for Ronnie. Ronnie, much like his brother, served in the utility equipment industry for 45 years. Together with Wayne, they formed a formidable duo that further solidified the Norris name in the industry.
Ronnie Ray Norris: Continuing the Legacy Beyond Norris Utilities
The legacy of commitment and excellence embodied by Norris Utilities extends beyond its immediate confines. Among those who carry forward this tradition is Ronnie Ray Norris, brother of the company's CEO and a stalwart figure in the utility equipment industry for over a decade. Currently employed at Viatec, an industry leader in ePTO (electric power take-off) technology, Ronnie continues to push the boundaries of innovation and service. As Norris Utilities proudly partners with Viatec to offer customers SmartPTO solutions, Ronnie's expertise and commitment to quality are invaluable assets in delivering cutting-edge solutions to utility businesses. While Ronnie may not be directly involved with Norris Utilities, he carries on the Norris legacy by upholding the values that the family name represents—integrity, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
