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.

The NORRES team will be reinforced in August
Just in time for the start of the new training year 2020, the NORRES Group welcomes a new trainee at its headquarter in Gelsenkirchen.
NORRES Schlauchtechnik is training a new industrial sales representative from August 2020. The first working day includes the welcome and a subsequent tour through the entire company. At NORRES the training of young people is a high priority, because well-trained and qualified staff is the key tot he comapny’s success. To this end, the three years of apprenticeship are made interesting and varied. The aim is to provide each trainee with the best possible training in his or her field and to prepare them for working life. Within the three years, the trainees support the NORRES staff and receive intensive, in-company training in the purchasing, financial accounting, domestic sales and export departments. In addition, taster weeks are held in production, logistics and the workshop to give our new trainees a first impression of our products. In this way, each trainee acquires extensive know-how, practical knowledge and skills that are necessary to work successfully. Many trainees have been taken on by the company in recent years after their training. Most of them still contribute to the success of the company today.
The training of young talents is an important strategic and personnel policy component for the NORRES Group in order to bind skilled workers to the company in the long term. With our excellently trained apprenticeship supervisors, a targeted training plan and individual training during the apprenticeship, we prepare our young talents for a career at NORRES in the best possible way. We are currently considering expanding our training program in the future. I can therefore only recommend interested young people to look for suitable training positions on our homepage from the end of this year", adds Nikolai Kummer, Head of Human Resources of the NORRES Group.
