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.

Optimum performance during fume and dust extraction
Technical hoses, which are used in the application of fume and dust extraction, are exposed to high loads. The right hose selection is the decisive factor in achieving a longer service life and optimum performance. Smoke and dust extraction, primarily gaseous materials and fine dusts are extracted and transported. Temperature resistance, flexibility, flame retardancy and density are the most important hose properties for use in this industry.
Optimum hose solutions for reliable service life
The NORRES Group has tailored its product portfolio specifically to the respective industries. Product characteristics must match the system requirements during use. Before the proper hose is selected, the consultation must be handled in advance to find a solution that is best suited for you. Fume and dust extraction must be specifically targeted at sector products in order to provide long and reliable service life and safety during the complete operation. The PROTAPE® PUR 301 AS and the PROTAPE® PUR 330 AS are particularly suitable for use with hoses on extraction units, filter systems or for oil mist extraction and galvanic extraction. Both hoses are highly flexible, abrasion-resistant and flame-retardant. On extraction arms or for welding fume extraction, properties such as high flexibility, low flammability, good resistance to alkalis, acids and chemicals for example the PROTAPE® PVC 371 HT owns, are indispensable. AIRDUC® PUR 350 AS BLACK is ideally suited for the pneumatic transport of combustible bulk materials. With a temperature range of -40 °C to 90 °C, temporarily up to 125 °C, certified according to TRGS 727 and ATEX 2014/34 / EU.
