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.

NORRES expands the portfolio - NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD
In the food industry, approvals for the use of industrial parts are commonplace. The NORRES Group – as a manufacturer of hose solutions for various industries – offers innovative and suitable solutions for many applications. Continuous development and improvement are everyday challenges at NORRES. Product features and approvals are crucial factors. The NORRES Group is currently expanding its portfolio of food and pharmaceutical hoses with the NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD.
NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD – Efficient and food safe
The efficiency of the NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD is primarily achieved by its internal smoothness. This results in several advantages: If the hose is in use, a very high flow rate is achieved, a gentle transport of the material to be conveyed, a low abrasion and thus a longer service life. The wall is certified food safe according to EU Regulation 10/2011 and EC 1935/2004 and the latest EU Regulation 2015/174 as well as FDA FCN 21 CFR 177.1680 and 177.2600. The NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD is very flexible and lightweight, which makes it easy to handle. In a temperature range of -20 °C to 70 °C, for a short time up to 80 °C, the NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD can be used without problems.
