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 successfully concludes POWTECH 2014
The 125 innovations launched in the anniversary years reaped great success for NORRES at the world's leading trade fair for processing, analysis, and handling of powder and bulk solids.
Gelsenkirchen, 6 September 2014 - NORRES Schlauchtechnik draws an extremely positive balance after the three days at POWTECH, which were marked by successful discussions and knowledge transfer. "POWTECH is becoming increasingly international, almost a third of the visitors come from abroad. This feedback was also noticeable at our booth", confirms the NORRES trade fair team, "at the same time, our anniversary and the 125 innovations turned our booth into a very special attraction. Many customers asked specifically for these innovations". The globally operating medium-sized company presented, among others, its optimised product range of robust and smooth hoses for powder and bulk solids technologies as well as many further innovations to the industry visitors. In addition to the product innovations, the discussions also centred around the newly created special services, such as the mobile NORRES hose finder for smartphones and the new short catalogue 2014. We would like to thank all visitors to the NORRES fair booth and are looking forward to many new international business relationships.
The successful outcome of the trade fair appearance was supplemented by a very special honour bestowed by the trade fair management. The Nuremberg trade fair organisers congratulated the hose manufacturer from Gelsenkirchen Schalke on its 125th anniversary and honoured the 125 innovations which they had been presented in advance. Both parties highlighted the successful outcome of the event.
