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.

Assembly service for hose conduits
The NORRES Group has innovative and suitable hose solutions for many applications. NORRES’ portfolio of technical hoses and connectors is as broad as the spectrum of industrial applications in which they are used. In addition to an extensive product range for the hose solution that best meets their requirements, NORRES offers continuous services to all users. The company’s customers can now profit from an assembly service which simplifies the configuration of complete hose conduits and also encompasses various additional services.
Six steps to the optimal hose conduit
A new NORRES assembly service adds particular value for customers. This new assembly service provides a quick and easy way to match a connector up to a compatible hose in six steps. Thanks to the new service, complete hose conduits can be configured in even less time.
In steps one to three the customer configures the inlet of the hose conduit and selects a suitable connector, a compatible hose and the type of assembly. The connector can be pressed, threaded, clamped or moulded depending on the product. Next, the outlet of the hose conduit is configured by selecting a second connector plus the type of assembly in steps four and five. Step six encompasses various services with additional benefits for customers – such as cutting the hose to the required length, selecting the type of packaging and labelling or a qualification examination with an inspection sticker on request.
New service – new products!
To round off this innovative service, NORRES has also adapted and expanded its range of connectors. The assembly service is quick and easy to use, and customers have access to all the products they need directly from the manufacturer.
