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.

NORRES News: hoses for industrial vacuum cleaners
NORRES offers the ideal hose solutions for industrial vacuum cleaners!
The use of industrial vacuum cleaners is similar to that of vacuum cleaners for household use. The main difference: In the industrial and commercial sector encounters more traffic and use than in households. Industrial vacuum cleaners are subjected to much higher loads, because their suction power is designed for larger objects - depending on the application area: stones, debris, cuttings, leaves, or liquids are removed by adequate throughput.
During the daily use of industrial vacuum cleaners the construction of the hose is an important component, because, technical hoses used on industrial vacuum cleaners are under considerable strain to withstand the continous stresses during cleaning workshops or building lots. Choosing the correct hose is essential to achieve the highest possible power and life service.
Ideal hose solutions for industrial vacuum cleaners
Hoses used on industrial vacuum cleaners are under considerable strain due to the abrasion of hot dirt, such as coal dust or liquids as well as their combinations. Particulary suitable are NORRES hoses out of Polyurethan or EVA, such as AIRDUC® PUR 355 AS or EVA 373 AS. Both hose types do have a permanently antistatic wanding. Also our electrical conductive hose types like AIRDUC® PUR 351 EC or EVA 373 EC withstand the stresses in use on industrial vacuum cleaners. In addition, our antistatic and electrical conductive hose types are certified according to German TRGS 727 and ATEX 2014/34 / EU.
