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.

Handover of the beneficiation at NORRES headquarters in city harbor
For over ten years NORRES Schlauchtechnik supports the work of Arche Noah in Gelsenkirchen with its Christmas beneficiation. „Arche Noah is for me and for the whole NORRES team a matter of the heart. It is important to us to support a project in our region which offers the necessary support to sick children and their families. This Christmas beneficiation belongs now to NORRES annual tradition“, says Burkhard Mollen, the managing director. This year NORRES welcomes Frank Petersen, the chairman of the association of children hospice in Gelsenkirchen, in city harbor in order to hand over the beneficiation personally. Because: the beneficiation is not only a sum that is handed over, but it also stands for compassion and personal contact with Arche Noah.
Arche Noah
Arche Noah is a nationally unique in its concept institution with two functions. It is a short-time institution for severely children with severe multiple disabilities and also a hospice for incurably ill children. The goal of the institution is to relieve the families and to support them by the professional care and supervision of children and young people in Arche Noah.
Arche Noah in Gelsenkirchen describes itself as „the house of life“ – this is reflected in the bright and inviting and colorful design of the rooms and outdoor facilities.
