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.

Congratulations on the successful professional qualification
The intensive preparations for the exams have paid off! In August, the three trainees passed their final exams with flying colours. The whole NORRES team congratulates them on their success!
The three years of training were designed to be interesting and versatile - with the aim of optimally training each trainee in his or her area and preparing them for their professional life. For the NORRES Group, the responsibility to provide young people with professional training and thus give them a professionally sound career perspective is a top priority. Throughout the entire training programme, the focus is on developing each trainee into a qualified and independent specialist who can contribute and pass on his or her newly acquired specialist knowledge at any time.
"All three trainees have decided to continue working with NORRES, which makes me personally very happy. In recent years, we have increasingly focused on commercial and IT-related apprenticeships. It is planned to extend this spectrum to commercial-technical apprenticeships starting next year. Interested young people will be able to find out about our training program for 2021 on our homepage and in the relevant social networks towards the end of the year. We look forward to every application we receive," adds Nikolai Kummer, Head of Human Resources of the NORRES Group.
