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.

Extremely heat-resistant hose expands the NORRES product portfolio
Robust in flying spark and welding spatter environments
A clean and safe environment is a precondition for any workplace. Welding emits many different gases, fumes and dusts. Depending on the welding method, toxic substances can also be emitted. Therefore, suitable precautions which ensure that the operator can breathe clean air must be taken where welding is performed. NORRES presents a new clamping profile hose with specifically for welding gas suction: The CP HiTex 467 WELDING is a further addition to the product portfolio of this hose manufacturer from Gelsenkirchen.
Heat-resistant – specifically for welding gas suction
Workplaces, particularly in the metal processing industry, are exposed to numerous contaminations. Choosing the correct protection against them is important and an absolute necessity. The extreme heat resistance of the new CP HiTex 467 WELDING clamping profile hose from NORRES makes this hose ideal for welding gas suction, but also where flying sparks and welding spatter must be expected. With a temperature range from -70°C to +260°C, briefly even up to +280°C, this hose can be recommended for practical application. A single layer of the fabric-reinforced tape is firmly clamped in helical form in a patented clamping profile. The high heat resistance is also obtained by a specially coated high-temperature fabric in the wall of the hose.
Robust, extremely light-weight and upsettable
The CP HiTex 467 WELDING is extremely flexibly and light-weight – which makes this hose very easy to install because: a movable and light-weight hose handles easier than a rigid and heavy one. Besides, flexibility means that there is almost no counter or reset forces when the hose is subjected to bending stress. Other advantages of this product include good resistance to ultraviolet radiation and ozone, very small bending radii, no kinking and flame retardant.
