There was a post in the 1/2A forum of the "other group" that quoted a recent email from SIG concerning NORVEL's status. SIG indicated they had received an email from NORVEL on April 12, 2007 stating essentially that NORVEL lacks the resources to restart production. It would only be possible with a 60 to 80% increase in price.

Apparently, a few inventory parts manufactured before the factory was relocated are available and SIG will attempt to import these.

NORVEL, RIP!
