Field of Activity

AS Norma (hereinafter also the “enterprise”) main field of activity is the production and sale of car safety belts and their components.

Development of the operating environment

Markets 58% of AS Norma's turnover reaches the end customer through companies belonging to the Autoliv group, the world's largest supplier of car safety systems.

The car safety product market depends on 2 factors: car sales and the importance of safety products per car. On average, the share of safety products in each car increased by 6% in 2022.

Economic environment in Estonia

AS Norma exports 97% (2021: 97%) of its production. Our partners are car manufacturers and their subcontractors. This is an industry where price pressure is exceptionally strong and a constant decline in sales prices is the norm. At the same time, AS Norma imports most of the materials, the price of which largely depends on raw material prices on the world market. In 2022, the increase in the price of steel and other metals that began a year earlier continued. The company's production costs also depend on the price of electricity and gas, which underwent a significant increase everywhere in 2022. Labor costs make up 29% of the company's turnover, so rapid wage growth in Estonia is an important factor in the development of the company's competitiveness.

The development of AS Norma in Estonia is also limited by the lack of subcontracting opportunities for production technologies in Estonia.
