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.

Expanded TWIN COLOR product series
The NORRES Group has now expanded its TWIN COLOR product series with the AIRDUC® PUR 355 EC TWIN COLOR. This is the third hose in the AIRDUC® PUR TWIN COLOR series that can be coloured in two colours in any desired combination.
AIRDUC® PUR 355 EC TWIN COLOR – Product properties at a glance
The AIRDUC® PUR 355 EC TWIN COLOR is a flexible hose for heavy duty – as ducting for abrasive powder, bulk material, granulate or gases. This electrically conductive polyurethane hose impresses with optimal product properties. The AIRDUC® PUR 355 EC TWIN COLOR is highly abrasion resistant, provides very good low temperature flexibility and conforms to RoHS guidelines. Its wall is made from electrically conductive premium ester-polyurethane (Pre-PUR®) and has an electrical and surface resistance of <10³ Ω.
The hose additionally has TRGS 727 & ATEX 2014/34/EU (1999/92/EC) certification for the pneumatic transport of flammable dusts and bulk materials (Zones 20, 21 & 22 indoor), for the aspiration of combustible dust (Zone 22 indoor), for conveying flammable liquids (Zones 0, 1 & 2 indoor), for conveying non-flammable liquids for use in Zones 1 & 2 (gases) and for use in Zone 0 (gases).
Finally, the AIRDUC® PUR 355 EC TWIN COLOR convinces with product properties like increased pressure and vacuum resistance as well as good resistance to oil, gasoline and chemicals.
The TWIN COLOR product series
Following on from the AIRDUC® PUR 355 AS TWIN COLOR and AIRDUC® PUR 350 AS TWIN COLOR, the NORRES Group’s product range has now been expanded with the AIRDUC® PUR 355 EC TWIN COLOR as the third product in the AIRDUC® TWIN COLOR series. The idea behind the TWIN COLOR hoses is as simple as it is convincing, and it evidently appeals to users: NORRES quality products are coloured according to each customer’s requirements.
Any combination of colours is possible. The option of colouring the hose in two specific colours adds significant value: each hose can be customised and adapted to the client’s respective corporate colours, ensuring that the corporate design is consistently applied. As a result of this, a higher quality and more professional appearance is achieved for the hose as a machine component and hence for the entire product during use. What’s more, the combination of colours for the AIRDUC® PUR 355 EC TWIN COLOR can be varied according to the intended use or field of application. Any colour combination is possible.
