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.

Resistant to continuous temperatures up to +110°C: The new CP PVC-HT 466
Patented design for best product properties
Hoses in welding gas suction environments must be able to withstand high temperatures. Only hoses with outstanding properties can tolerate high stress for a long time. One such property is very good resistance to heat, which is typical of the new clamping profile hose type CP PVC-HT 466.
Excellent for welding gas suction
The suction and blower hose type CP PVC-HT 466 Is an important novelty from NORRES. This high-temperature hose is suitable for applications in the temperature range from about -10°C to about +110°C. Besides, the specially coated fabric is flame retardant according to NF P 92-503 M1 and is best for welding gas suction applications.
Design properties for customized product solutions
Like all clamping profile hoses from NORRES, the CP PVC-HT 466 hose is also a patented design. A single layer of fabric-reinforced tape consisting of PVC coated glass fiber fabric is clamped in helical fashion in a patented profile. A helical support of galvanized steel ensures that the tape is clamped in the profile. An inserted wire prevents it from slipping out. In this way, the wall of the hose is clamped in the profile and cannot be pulled out and chafing is prevented by an outer clamping profile. In addition, a round clamping profile ensures more beneficial properties of the product such as high and uniform distribution of the clamping force and therefore improved leakproofness of the hose.
The design and properties of the hose can be customized to suit individual requirements. For example, a design with other pitches of the helical clamping profile support and different wall materials are possible on request.
