Norpro marked the year in which all units, marine and industrial, would be offered with weather and sound protection enclosures in order to meet the demands of outside unit installations. The product line was also expanded from 4-125 kW, including a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or Natural Gas (NG) line of generators ranging from 9-125 kW. Distributors were expanded around the U.S. and South America to strengthen the market share.
