Social responsibility

NORRES Schlauchtechnik has a long history of responsible behaviour towards the society we live in. We frequently participate in activities that benefit charitable organisations. We are extremely keen to support projects that help the socially disadvantaged, especially when they involve children. We also make an active contribution towards environmental protection.

NORRES Schlauchtechnik makes regular donations to “Noah's Ark”, a charity that describes itself as “a children’s hospice in the region and for the region”. The Ark’s concept, which is the only one of its kind anywhere in Germany, defines two main functions: to offer a haven for incurably ill children and to act as a short-term care centre for youngsters with severe disabilities. The aim is to assist the families concerned by providing professional care and respite for children and teenagers in the Noah's Ark centre. NORRES traditionally makes a donation to this deserving cause at Christmas.

At NORRES, all people are equal. All our staff benefit from the same opportunities. Their ethnic origin, religion, social background, age, sex or disabilities are considered to be irrelevant. NORRES maintains close links with a centre for handicapped people. Disabled staff carry out their work directly on the NORRES site and are therefore fully integrated in the life of the company.

The sustainable use of natural resources is firmly entrenched in NORRRES Schlauchtechnik's daily work processes. The move to our new “Am Stadthafen” facility coincided with extensive investments in eco-friendly production and HVAC technologies. Efficient insulation, double glazing, centrally controlled air conditioning with water chillers and production utilising heat recovery mean optimal protection for the environment. Since taking possession of the new and completely refurbished plant at the port of Gelsenkirchen in 2009, NORRES has succeeded in reducing the consumption of water, electricity and heating fuel dramatically – despite an almost fourfold increase in floor space.

Additional process optimisation ensuring increased availability with individual hose connections

NORRES Schlauchtechnik - continuing with the 125 innovations:

Thanks to further process optimisation in the field of cutting-edge logistics, NORRES Schlauchtechnik can address customer wishes even more efficiently with immediate effect: Available in three different assembly options, customer-specific hose systems consisting of the AIRDUC® 355 and 356 designs can be safely and durably connected to the most diverse of connectors such as the CONNECT THREAD FITTING 234 threaded adapter. The special system can be assembled in three versions: Clamp (231), Press (232) and Mould (233) and can now be delivered even quicker.

Safely connected with NORRES CONNECT systems

With immediate effect, NORRES optionally offers its customers the opportunity to individually select their assembly connections: The CONNECT - SAFETY CLAMP ASSEMBLY 231 universal safety clamp coupling system offers a permanent assembly option when dealing with the requirement of a screwed connection with bolts or nuts. The innovative CONNECT PRESS ASSEMBLY 232 is used where a pressed hose system is required with immediate effect. If the customer requires a system with a hose and moulded connector, NORRES offers the CONNECT MOULD ASSEMBLY 233 as a sealed coupling system. With this innovative assembly, a design with food-safe casting material comes as standard at NORRES.

All systems are available in combination with the flexible and ultra abrasion proof AIRDUC® 355 and 356 versions. Each of the three systems can be extended with an optional earthing or various internal hose diameters as well as the matching sealing inserts.

Diverse connectors for diverse applications

The three further developed and customer-specific hose systems can be used in the most diverse of sectors for the most diverse of applications. Furthermore, NORRES customers can choose from a total of four connection options including the CONNECT THREAD FITTING 234 threaded adapters that can be connected with the aforementioned AIRDUC® versions in accordance with DIN ISO 228. The CONNECT TRI-CLAMP FITTING 245, the CONNECT DAIRY FITTING 247 dairy tube adapter in accordance with DIN 2826/11887 as well as the flow-optimised CONNECT ASEPTIC FITTING 249 aseptic adapter in accordance with DIN 11864-3 can now also be assembled in the further developed system with the specific designs of the ultra abrasion proof AIRDUC® 355 und AIRDUC® 356 hoses in the three different versions: Clamp (231), Press (232) and Mould (233).
