Shorter lead times provide added value for customers

At NORRES Schlauchtechnik, the focus is on the customers: the company offers premium quality products that are developed and produced in Germany, excellent service and comprehensive professional advice. The latest highlight: Thanks to an extension of the warehouse – including the warehouse of the environmental solutions department - the company is now able to more flexibly meet customers' requirements and shorten lead times.

Extended warehouse and shortened lead times:

NORRES forecasts a positive business development. The hose manufacturer based in Gelsenkirchen Schalke has significantly extended its warehouse at its headquarters. This also applies to the hose department. The extension comprises 2,000 sqm of materials warehouse in an additional hall. "This allows us to be more flexible", explained Burkhard Mollen regarding this investment. "With the expansion as well as with the already launched 125 innovations, we will set new standards especially in terms of service. Thus, we are able to meet our customers' requirements regarding shorter lead times in the future", said NORRES CEO. Thanks to the warehouse expansion, the globally operating medium-sized company is now able to offer a complete package ranging from premium quality products and technical innovations through to excellent service.

Product qualities which have been improved at the beginning of the year:

At the beginning of the year, NORRES Schlauchtechnik already impressed with product qualities in the area of environmental solutions for the 2014 anniversary year. The globally operating medium-sized company presented the NORRES PRO2AIR Pre-PUR® membrane diffuser with lowest pressure loss as well as the NORRES PRO2AIR Pre-PUR® membrane tube diffuser with lowest pressure loss. Thanks to the advanced Pre- PUR® quality, both products provide essential energy savings. At the same time, NORRES modified the product range for the PRO2AIR membrane tube diffuser.
