Nordfab Ducting is a leading manufacturer of clamp-together and heavy-gauge ducting systems used in industrial dust collection applications across a wide range of industries. Headquartered in Thomasville, NC, Nordfab has become known for its innovative “Quick-Fit” ducting and rapid delivery capabilities.
In 2022, Nordfab completed a significant $5.5 million expansion, growing its Thomasville footprint to approximately 180,000 square feet. This expansion supported the launch of its “Nordfab Now” program, enabling next-day shipping on a wide range of ducting products and significantly increasing production and warehouse capacity.
Building on that momentum, Nordfab completed an additional expansion in 2025, adding approximately 27,000 square feet to support increased demand for heavy-gauge (XD) ducting. This latest investment has further scaled manufacturing capacity and reinforced Nordfab’s position as a high-speed, high-volume ducting provider.
