Social - Sociální odpovědnost

Skupina NORRES má dlouhou historii odpovědného chování vůči společnosti, ve které žijeme. Často se účastníme aktivit, které jsou přínosné pro charitativní organizace. Jsme nesmírně rádi, abychom podpořili projekty, které pomáhají sociálně znevýhodněným osobám, zejména v případě dětí. Aktivně přispíváme také k ochraně životního prostředí.

Skupina NORRES pravidelně daruje "Noemovu archu", která charakterizuje sebe sama jako "dětský hospic v regionu a pro region". Archova koncepce, která je jediná svého druhu kdekoli v Německu, definuje dvě hlavní funkce: nabídnout útočiště pro nevyléčitelně nemocné děti a působit středisko krátkodobé péče o mládež s těžkým postižením. Cílem je pomoci rodinám, které se zabývají poskytováním profesionální péče a odpočinku pro děti a mládež v centru Noemova archy. NORRES tradičně dává dar na tuto zaslouženou věc každé Vánoce.

V NORRES jsou si všichni lidé rovní. Všichni naši zaměstnanci využívají stejné možnosti. Jejich etnický původ, náboženství, sociální pozadí, věk, pohlaví nebo zdravotní postižení jsou považovány za irelevantní. Společnost NORRES udržuje úzké vazby se střediskem pro osoby se zdravotním postižením. Zaměstnanci se zdravotním postižením vykonávají svou práci přímo na pracovišti NORRES a jsou proto plně integrováni do života společnosti.

Udržitelné využívání přírodních zdrojů je pevně zakotveno v každodenních pracovních procesech společnosti NORRRES. Přesun do našeho nového zařízení "Am Stadthafen" se časově shodoval s rozsáhlými investicemi do ekologicky šetrných výrobních a HVAC technologií. Účinná izolace, dvojité zasklení, centrálně řízená klimatizace s vodními chladiči a výroba s využitím rekuperace tepla znamená optimální ochranu životního prostředí. Od převzetí nového a kompletně zrekonstruovaného závodu v přístavu Gelsenkirchen v roce 2009 se společnosti NORRES podařilo dramaticky snížit spotřebu vody, elektřiny a topného paliva – i přes téměř čtyřnásobný nárůst podlahové plochy.

Triton signs an agreement to sell Norres Baggerman Group

Frankfurt / Gelsenkirchen (Germany), 30 March 2023 – The Triton Smaller Mid-Cap Fund I advised by Triton (“Triton”) has signed an agreement to sell Norres I Baggerman Group (“Norres Baggerman”), a market leading manufacturer of industrial plastic hoses in Europe, to Nalka DACH Investments SA SICAF-RAIF (“Nalka”). Terms and conditions of the transaction are not disclosed.

Under Triton’s ownership, Norres Baggerman has been developed into a European market leader in the manufacturing and technical installation of industrial hose systems. It serves a variety of industries such as agriculture, food & pharma, plastics, wood processing, robotics and fluid applications, as well as power engineering as core markets.

The company has around 400 employees and has a global footprint across Europe, the US and Asia, with six manufacturing facilities and 15 sales offices. Its global production network is a significant competitive advantage, as it allows customers to be supplied with consistently high quality and available products on a global scale.

Triton acquired Norres Baggerman in 2018 with the aim of developing the company into a global market leader by accelerating its growth, and by supporting its internationalisation efforts and it´s development into a system provider. During Triton’s ownership, NORRES has completed three acquisitions, drove ca. 10% annual organic growth, and increased its sales by more than 170% to well over EUR 100 million. The company has also implemented a clearly defined framework to enhance its ESG capabilities.

Andi Klein, Managing Partner, and Head of TSM comments: “We want to thank Ralf Dahmer, his management team, and all employees of Norres Baggerman for the great collaboration, and their contribution to and execution in developing Norres Baggerman into a pan-European market leader in its sector through often uncertain times. We believe that NORRES is very well positioned for a sustainable future and that Nalka is the right partner to accompany Norres Baggerman into further future success.”

Ralf Dahmer, CEO Norres Baggerman adds: “Triton has played a substantial role in the development of our company and has contributed the necessary support to successfully execute our expansion goals. We want to thank Triton for the loyal and trustful companionship during the last years. Nalka and Norres Baggerman share common goals and we are happy to become part of the Nalka family. We believe that the new co-operation will have enormous and long-term growth potential to the benefit of our clients and employees.”
