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.

Innovations by NORRES provide variety, efficiency and service.
NORRES Schlauchtechnik presents the innovations 41 to 47 in the anniversary year.
NORRES Schlauchtechnik presents a further seven innovations in the products and services segments in its year of 125 innovations. Thanks to the combination of the three properties antistatic, microbe resistant and flame-retardant, the TIMBERDUC® PUR 531 SE AS and 532 SE AS hoses offer added value and an increase in efficiency. The highly flexible and compressible CP HiTex 467 WELDING and the NORFLEX® PUR 401 WELDING complement the portfolio and are perfectly suited for applications with the risk of flying sparks and welding sparks. Service improvements for NORPLAST® PUR 385 AS, NORFLEX® PUR 441 ROBOTIC as well as PROTAPE® HT-PVC 371 hoses complete the offer.
Hoses for the wood industry
The TIMBERDUC® PUR 531 SE AS and 532 SE AS are perfectly suited for the suction of wood dust and wood chips on wood processing machines. Thanks to three excellent properties (flame-retardant, permanently antistatic and microbe resistant), they provide substantial added value. The TIMBERDUC® PUR 531 SE AS is super-light, highly flexible + compressible 3:1; the TIMBERDUC® PUR 532 SE AS is light, highly flexible and also compressible 3:1. By adding a permanently antistatic version to its existing range, NORRES offers its wood industry customers a significantly extended area of use for these proven hoses.
For application in areas with the risk of flying sparks and welding sparks
The NORFLEX® PUR 401 WELDING as well as CP HiTex 467 WELDING are perfectly suited for applications exposed to flying sparks and welding sparks. The highly abrasion-proof pressure hose NORFLEX® PUR 401 WELDING is smooth on the inside as well as on the outside. It can be used as pressure hose as well as for welding apparatuses and industrial robots. The highly flexible NORFLEX® PUR 401 WELDING is flame-retardant and features excellent resistance to oil, gasoline and chemicals.
For application in the field of welding gas extraction and for suction arms, the highly flexible and compressible CP HiTex 467 WELDING now complements the product portfolio of technical hoses by NORRES. The very robust and super-light suction and blast hose is extremely heat resistant (up to 260°C). It is kink-proof, flame-retardant and stands out with its abrasion protection, small bending radius and good resistance to UV and ozone. NORRES offers the CP HiTex 467 WELDING with Ø up to 1,000 mm and thus extents the areas of application of the fabric reinforced hose in Clamp profile.
Meeting customers' requirements
The light NORPLAST® PUR 385 AS is perfect for use in de-dusting and suction plants, industrial vacuum cleaners as well as for suction of paper and textile fibres. Following numerous customer requests, the abrasion-proof and antistatic suction and transport hose is now available in new dimensions with internal diameters of 180 and 200 mm.
The highly flexible NORFLEX® PUR 441 ROBOTIC pressure hose for industrial robots is fabric reinforced, crush-proof and features a smooth interior and exterior. The NORFLEX® PUR 441 ROBOTIC is highly abrasion-proof, self-locking and available in blue, red, green or black from stock, so that it is readily available for NORRES costumers.
In response to requests by many of our customers, the PROTAPE® HT-PVC 371 is now offered in 7.6 m dimensions in stock and 7.5 m standard dimensions. The suction and blast hose is perfectly suited for hot and abrasive solids such as dust, powder, fibres, chips and granulates. Super-light, highly flexible + compressible 6:1, the PROTAPE® HT-PVC 371 with PVC coated glass fabric is heat resistant for up to 120°C.
