Norden had it's beginnings in the company that developed and manufactured the Norden Bombsight of World War II fame. That tradition continues today with the development and manufacture of sophisticated airborne radar systems.  Over time the original Norden Laboratories Corporation has become a part of larger corporations. First there was United Technologies (formerly United Aircraft) then Westinghouse and now Northrop Grumman Corporation. Along the way, the name was changed to Norden Systems and today Norden Systems is an integral part of Northrop Grumman's Electronic Systems Sector.

The purpose of the Norden Retirees Club is to maintain contact with past and present employees of Norden; to encourage good fellowship among its members; to promote recreational, social, and community service activities; and to undertake any other worthwhile projects of interest to its members.

This Web site contains information that is primarily of interest to Norden retirees and employees, but also includes historical information that may be of interest to the general public.

Norden Set to Close the Doors in 2013

According to the Connecticut Post Newspaper, Northrop Grumman told employees that it is moving its Norwalk manufacturing and engineering operations out of the state by the end of 2013.  There are 315 employees at the plant, and 30 to 50 could get offers to relocate to Baltimore, Northrop said.

The closing of the last remaining vestige of Norden does not immediately affect the Norden Retires Club except. of course, there will be no more retires after 2013.  We expect the club to continue on for many more years.
