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.

Three at one blow: TIMBERDUC® PUR 533 and 534 SE AS now antistatic
The NORRES anniversary with 125 innovations enters Q2
NORRES Schlauchtechnik now also offers its suction and blast hoses for the wood industry with permanently antistatic walls without migrating antistatic agents. The TIMBERDUC® PUR 533 SE AS and TIMBERDUC® PUR 534 SE AS are now flame-retardant, microbe resistant and permanently antistatic. The product portfolio of permanently antistatic full plastic hoses is rounded off by the super-heavy NORPLAST® PUR-CU 387 AS, with smooth interior.
Hoses for the wood industry
The TIMBERDUC® PUR 533 SE AS and TIMBERDUC® PUR 534 SE AS are perfectly suited for high flow rates of abrasive solids such as powder, chips and granulates. They comply with the safety stipulations of the German Professional Trade Association for Wood and are conductive pursuant to TRBS 2153. The new hoses are used for the suction of wood dust and wood chips, on wood processing machines as well as in de-dusting and suction plants. The heavy TIMBERDUC® PUR 533 SE AS is highly abrasion-proof. The super heavy version TIMBERDUC® PUR 534 SE AS is extremely abrasion-proof. By modifying the properties of these hoses, NORRES, one of the leading trendsetters in hose technology, increases the efficiency of these new products.
Full plastic hose for extreme applications
The 125 innovations in the ongoing anniversary year 2014 are complemented by a new full plastic hose: The NORPLAST® PUR-CU 387 AS is now also available as standard with non-migrating antistatic agent so that it is permanently antistatic. Thus, the scope of applications of the super heavy, abrasion-proof suction and transport hose with smooth interior is extended. NORPLAST® PUR-CU 387 AS is used for high flow rates of extremely abrasive solids such as sand, gravel, grain, refuse glass and chips in areas exposed to explosion hazards (explosion protection), for roof gravel conveying, silo loading and unloading, as conveying hose in glassworks, docks, steelworks, quarries, shipyards, cementworks etc.
