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 Schlauchtechnik trains new specialists
Trainees strengthen the NORRES Team since August
Since 1st August the NORRES Team has increased: at the start of the new year of training in 2016 we welcomed new trainees to our headquarters in Gelsenkirchen.
Numerous employees are now working successfully at NORRES since their training – this will continue. Employee training and continuing professional development are a top priority at NORRES. Due to the last successful training sessions as well as the possibility of an employment offer for specific career entries after their training, NORRES decided to continue training this year also.
NORRES Schlauchtechnik has trained since August 2016 two industrial business management assistants.
These young people were welcomed by our Managing Director and were invited to a tour of the entire plant, including the Sales department, the production plant and the warehouse, to give them a brief initial impression of their future employer.
It gives us great pleasure to train motivated young people who can potentially grow with the company and we welcome them and wish them the very best for a new start in their career.
