Where it all began
The story of the Nordberg® C Series™ jaw crushers started in the 1970s, when a small team of engineers in Tampere set out to challenge the status quo of crusher design. Moving beyond rule-of-thumb calculations, they introduced a research-driven approach that forever changed the game.
What emerged was the C Series™, a line of jaw crushers built for strength, simplicity, and long-term reliability. Since then, more than 13,000 units have been delivered to customers worldwide.
From quarry sites to mining operations, the C Series™ has earned its reputation as the go-to jaw crusher for demanding applications.
