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.

Innovations for the food and pharmaceutical industries
When suction or transport hoses are used in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries, they must comply with extremely strict requirements and regulations. The potential applications for these hoses are many and varied – as are the needs of these sensitive industries! As a manufacturer of industrial hoses, NORRES therefore combines industry-specific consulting with quality products – and with its innovative portfolio is always at the cutting edge!
New on the market – NORPLAST® PUR-C 386 FOOD-AS FDA
NORPLAST® PUR-C 386 FOOD-AS FDA is a new hose which has just expanded the food and pharmaceutical range. It is perfect for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries thanks to the food grade wall and antistatic properties. This is also confirmed by various certifications: the wall is food grade according to EU Regulation 10/2011, EC 1935/2004, EU Regulation 2015/174 and FDA 21 CFR, 177.1210. The antistatic properties meet the requirements for certification to TRGS 727 & ATEX 2014/34/EU (1999/92/EC)*.
Special food & pharmaceutical versions expand the product range
