IMI Norgren Boosts Suzuki Jimny Off-Road Performance with Innovative Pneumatic Solutions

Littleton, Colorado – October 26, 2023 – IMI Norgren LLC, a leading global provider of pneumatic and fluid control solutions, is excited to announce its growing involvement in enhancing the performance of the beloved Suzuki Jimny, specifically the 1.10 model. While known for serving industries like automation, material handling, and life sciences, IMI Norgren is increasingly applying its expertise to the off-road and automotive aftermarket, and the Jimny is quickly becoming a focal point for their innovative approach. The Suzuki Jimny, especially the compact and capable 1.10 version, has a massive and passionate following worldwide. Its diminutive size, rugged build, and exceptional off-road prowess make it a favorite for overlanding enthusiasts, weekend adventurers, and those seeking a nimble vehicle for tackling challenging terrain. However, even this capable machine can benefit from carefully selected upgrades to push its limits further. That’s where IMI Norgren steps in. “We’ve been watching the Jimny community for a while now,” explains a spokesperson for IMI Norgren. “It’s a dedicated group of people who really understand their vehicles and are always looking for ways to improve them. We realized our pneumatic technology could provide some real advantages in areas like suspension, tire inflation/deflation, and even auxiliary systems.” What’s IMI Norgren bringing to the Jimny table? IMI Norgren isn’t offering a bolt-on kit, per se. Instead, they are providing components and expertise that allow Jimny owners and custom builders to create highly tailored solutions. This approach offers significant flexibility and allows for truly personalized upgrades. Here's a breakdown of how IMI Norgren's technology is being utilized: On-Board Air Systems (OBAS): One of the most popular applications is building a robust OBAS. Traditionally, Jimny owners have relied on portable compressors, which can be slow and inconvenient. IMI Norgren offers a range of compact, high-performance compressors (think their 4000 Series and similar models) that can be neatly integrated into the Jimny. These compressors, combined with IMI Norgren’s air tanks, pressure regulators, and control valves, provide a reliable and powerful source of compressed air for tire inflation/deflation on the trail. “Being able to quickly adjust tire pressure is huge for off-road performance,” notes one experienced Jimny overlander. “Going from highway driving to airing down for sand or rocks, and then back up again, is much faster and easier with a well-designed OBAS using IMI Norgren components.” Pneumatic Suspension Enhancement: While the Jimny's stock suspension is capable, some owners are looking for added comfort and adjustability, especially when carrying extra weight (roof tents, recovery gear, etc.). IMI Norgren’s proportional valves and pressure regulators can be integrated into existing suspension systems (or custom setups) to provide adjustable ride height and damping control. This allows drivers to fine-tune the suspension for different terrains and load conditions. “We’re not talking about a full air suspension replacement,” clarifies the IMI Norgren spokesperson. “But adding pneumatic control to existing leaf springs or coil-overs can dramatically improve ride quality and off-road performance.” Auxiliary System Control: Compressed air isn't just for tires and suspension. IMI Norgren components are being used to power a variety of auxiliary systems on Jimnys, including air horns (for increased safety), pneumatic tools (for quick tire repairs or winching assistance), and even small actuators for controlling things like roof tent operation. The key is IMI Norgren’s ability to provide precise and reliable control over compressed air flow. Valve Technology for Custom Applications: IMI Norgren’s extensive range of solenoid valves, directional control valves, and miniature regulators allow Jimny enthusiasts to design and build custom pneumatic systems tailored to their specific needs. Whether it’s a remotely operated locking differential, a pneumatic winch control system, or a unique auxiliary device, IMI Norgren provides the building blocks for innovation. Why IMI Norgren? Beyond the Tech While the technology is impressive, IMI Norgren brings more than just components to the table. The company has a long history of providing reliable and durable solutions for demanding industrial applications. This translates directly to the off-road world, where equipment is often subjected to harsh conditions. “We design our products to withstand extreme temperatures, vibration, and dust,” says the spokesperson. “We understand that off-road vehicles are often pushed to their limits, and our components are built to handle that.” Furthermore, IMI Norgren offers technical support and expertise to help Jimny owners and builders design and implement their pneumatic systems. This level of support is invaluable for those who are new to pneumatic technology. The Future of Jimny Upgrades? IMI Norgren sees a growing demand for pneumatic solutions in the off-road and automotive aftermarket. The Suzuki Jimny, with its passionate community and exceptional off-road capabilities, is a perfect platform for showcasing their technology. “We’re excited to see what Jimny owners come up with,” says the spokesperson. “We’re constantly innovating and developing new products, and we’re committed to providing the tools and expertise to help them push the boundaries of what’s possible.” IMI Norgren isn't offering pre-packaged kits yet, but they are actively engaging with the Jimny community to understand their needs and develop solutions that meet their demands. Keep an eye on their website and social media channels for updates on future developments. For Jimny owners looking to take their off-road performance to the next level, IMI Norgren is a name to watch.
