Profile

Noha Norway was founded in 1924 and has grown to become a world-leading manufacturer of fire hose reels and cabinets. Noha began manufacturing hose reels in the 1950s and has since focused on developing solutions and extending its product range to cover all fire-fighting equipment for the residential and commercial markets.
We are proud to be able to supply fire-fighting equipment to meet our customers' individual needs. We have the competence needed to come up with safe and smart solutions, which are best found through communication with our customers.
Suppression systems, fire extinguishers and offshore hose reels
During the 1970s, the oil industry became one of Noha's most important markets for suppression systems, fire extinguishers and offshore hose reels.
Fire hose reels and cabinets, and offshore system manufacture
As Noha’s production at Norsk Hammerverk increased, it was realised that the current facilities were too small and outdated. In 1987 the company built a new factory at Forus. All activities the company was engaged in, other than fire-fighting equipment, were moved to separate companies.
The administrative board approved the plans, and Norsk Hammerverk moved into a brand new factory early in 1988, a factory especially designed to manufacture fire hose reels and cabinets, and offshore systems.
Offshore fire-fighting equipment service
Noha delivers servicing of all fire-fighting products, both on and offshore. For renovations or building new offshore equipment, if you involve us in your plans at an early stage we can find practical and esthetical solutions. This will provide you with the safety you deserve and will also save you money.
Argonite inert gas fire-fighting system
Argonite is a blend of argon and nitrogen gases that occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It is popular with organisations that prefer to use a non-chemical suppression agent.
With zero ODP, zero GWP and a zero atmospheric lifetime, argonite has excellent environmental credentials. It works by displacing oxygen and reducing the oxygen level in the air from the normal 21% to a level that will not support combustion.
A typical design concentration of 40% will reduce the air's oxygen level to 12.5% within 60 seconds. In occupied areas, personnel can continue to breathe safely at this level for short periods of time.
Self-activating fire-suppression system
The effectiveness of Noha’s argonite inert gas system comes from the red detection tubing that ruptures when exposed to a flame. The specialized tubing combines leak resistance, flexibility, durability and precise temperature sensitivity, allowing it to react quickly when the heat from a fire is present.
The flexible, narrow tubing is particularly applicable in small spaces and connects to one of the custom-engineered valves and a cylinder that contains the best fire suppression agent for the particular hazard: powder, foam, water or CO2.
Designed for simple installation, often very near the source of a potential fire, the system is a self-activating suppression system that reliably suppresses fires in seconds, with no electricity required.
