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.

Suction and blower hoses best suited to the chemical industry
Extreme Heat Resistance up to +400 °C: The CP Kapton® 476
Hoses utilised in the chemical industry must be able to withstand operational demands. NORRES Schlauchtechnik presents, from the series of clamping profile hoses, a new hose model, especially tailored to these demands: the CP Kapton® 476.
High-Temperature Hose for the Chemical Industry
NORRES, the Gelsenkirchen-based hose manufacturer, presents a new suction and blower hose among its line of products: the CP Kapton® 476. The new clamping profile hose is extremely heat resistant and can be readily used in environments with temperatures ranging from about -60 °C to about +400 °C. The superb chemical resistance of the hose is complemented by strong resistance to acids and lyes, as well as ultraviolet radiation and ozone.
Patented Construction for Best Product Properties
The hose walls consist of laminated Kapton® fibreglass, and the clamping profile-supporting spiral is galvanized steel. The chafing protection through the exterior clamping profile and the high tensile strength clamping of the hose wall are ascribable to the innovative NORRES construction: in a patented clamping profile, webbing material is spirally clamped, and an inlaid wire guards against slippage. The CP Kapton® 476 is kink-proof, weighs little and fully conforms to RoHS.
