Founded by Tom and Anne Mondelci in January 1986. Norpro started as an Isuzu distributor. By 1988, Tom began designing and manufacturing diesel generators under the name Northeast Products (Norpro) to broaden their product line. Northeast Isuzu and Norpro soon became recognized as a major player in the distribution of Isuzu products and diesel generators. Norpro's growth and recognition were due to Norpro's core beliefs in exceptional customer service, customer satisfaction, and in the selling of outstanding products. Growing and maintaining the customer base was easy when Tom and Anne established their business philosophy:

Norpro has become more than just an engine / parts distributor. It is now a manufacturer with a reputation for building a quality product that is highly reliable and affordably priced. This fueled the growth to a company that distributes power generation products to nearly all locations around the world.
