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 presents two product innovations
PROTAPE® PUR 327 PP and PROTAPE® TPE 325 WEAR STRIP expand the range
NORRES is expanding its portfolio and currently presents two product innovations: PROTAPE® PUR 327 PP for use in municipal vehicles and the PROTAPE® TPE 325 WEAR STRIP for gas exhaust extraction.
Highly abrasion resistant and crush resistant
The PROTAPE® PUR 327 PP further compliments our existing product range of hoses for sweeping and cleaning machines. The extraction of leaves, branches and dirt strains hoses used on municipal vehicles. Thus, these specific tubing properties are required which provide additional advantages during use. These include primarily long service life, easy handling, high abrasion resistance as well as very good cold resistance. Optimum product properties help to ensure a lower risk of failure. The PROTAPE® PUR 327 PP has been specially developed for use on municipal vehicles. Highly flexible and super-light weight - makes it easy to handle. The throughput of abrasive material is no problem for this highly-abrasion resistant hose. It is crush resistant and therefore - combined with very good cold flexibility - is ideally suited for outdoor use.
Fabric-reinforced and flexible
Exhaust hoses are primarily used to route exhaust gases from vehicle engines and other equipment away from the operator. Thus a workplace with fresh and clean air should be ensured. The NORRES portfolio has recently expanded by adding the PROTAPE® TPE 325 WEAR STRIP. The exhaust gas hose is mainly used for vehicle exhaust systems, overhead and underfloor exhaust systems as well as engine test stands in industry and workshops. The innovative exhaust hose is fabric-reinforced and has as a highly flexible and compressible hose with external abrasion protection via an external helix. Due to the outer special sliding surface, the hose maximizes on floor space, prolonging service life and is easy to use. The flexibility and compressibility also enable the user with ease of handling. The PROTAPE® TPE 325 WEAR STRIP has good resistance to oil, gasoline and chemicals. It transports exhaust gases up to a temperature range of up to 220 ° C.
