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.

Flexible & Abrasion Resistant
Hoses used in the application of leaf collection/extraction are subject to considerable stress. The high throughput of abrasive solids, such as leaves, branches and small stones strain the hose wall and require the use of highly abrasion-resistant suction hoses.
Industry Specific Leaf Collection Hoses
During the extraction of leaves, branches and dirt in use on municipal vehicles, hose properties are required that offer the operator benefits: These include primarily long service life, ease of handling, high abrasion resistance, as well as microbial and hydrolysis resistance - with the aim of minimizing the failure risk of the hose. The use of Pre-PUR® hoses have proven superior abrasion resistance compared to that of most rubber and soft PVC hoses. The result: Due to extended service life, costs are saved. NORRES offers a wide range of Pre-PUR® technical hoses with a wide range of products that are tailored to the needs of lawn mowers, slope mowers, leaf blowers or leaf collectors.
The abrasion-resistant AIRDUC® PUR 350 AS is a suitable solution: flexible in medium-heavy duty applications, certified in accordance with TRGS 727 and ATEX 2014/34 / EU and thus is suitable for pneumatic conveying of bulk solids and flame-retardant according to UL94-V2 and DIN 4102-B1.
Hose such as the PROTAPE® PUR 327 MEMORY and PROTAPE® PUR 327 PP promise a particularly ease of handling and long service life in use for example on leaf vacuums. Both hoses are crush-resistant, highly abrasion-resistant and highly flexible. The heavy-duty AIRDUC® PUR 355 AS can easily withstand loads on lawn mowers, slope mowers, leaf vacuum cleaners or leaf collectors. The AIRDUC® PUR 355 AS is flame retardant, certified according to TRGS 727 and ATEX 2014/34 / EU, highly resistant to abrasion and microbes. The sweeper hose AIRDUC® PUR 351 SWEEPER in addition to its optimized-flow profile with its durable wall made of premium polyurethane (Pre-PUR®). A product characteristic with which efficient service life can always be achieved. The PROTAPE® PUR 330 AS is considered to be a hose that can be used in an inversible way. Due to its product properties, its use on leaf collectors and leaf vacuum cleaners has proven itself a highly durable solution. Composed in a lightweight and reinforced design. Industry Leading features: highly flexible, abrasion-resistant, microbe-resistant and flame-retardant.
